We went through a trying process of re-evaluating, reaffirming and defining our core purpose - and for the first time lost one of our members, CERCOPAN. Yet PASA staged Management and Veterinary Workshops and welcomed a new member, Lilongwe Wildlife Center in Malawi. PASA also made eight Crisis Response grants for a total of more than US$34,000, and raised more than $135,000 in funds directly for sanctuaries. Most importantly, through it all, the sanctuaries continued their essential work of rescuing and caring for Africa’s primates while working with communities and governments to protect their kind in the wild.

  • 2015 Report on Community Engagement Workshop in Cameroon
    Pan African Sanctuary Alliance PASA Board of Directors Community Engagement Workshop in Cameroon Michele Stumpe, Esq. (Georgia) Chair Workshop Report Norm Rosen (California) In July 2015 PASA held a workshop in Cameroon with the primary goal of Vice-Chair identifying effective approaches to produce the long-term changes needed to protect the primate populations in Cameroon. An important outcome of the Mary Rose (Ohio) workshop was the identification of a novel program with national impact: Secretary PASA, Ape Action Africa, Limbe Wildlife Centre, and Sanaga-Yong Rescue Center are now planning to substantially reduce human-wildlife Susan Lutter (California) conflict by changing attitudes about primates and wildlife conservation Treasurer throughout Cameroon. Franck Chantereau (DR Congo) Cameroon is a country of high importance for the conservation of primates. It is home to several endangered great apes: the western lowland gorilla, the Rachel Hogan (Cameroon) cross river gorilla, the central chimpanzee, and the Nigeria-Cameroon chimpanzee. Cameroon is also inhabited by the drill, the most endangered of Rebecca Rose (Ohio) the monkeys. Unless major changes are made, it is believed that some ape species will become extinct within decades. Richard Wrangham, PhD (Massachusetts) The survival of these primates depends on the development of conservation programs with lasting impact. Since human activities are the root causes of most primate conservation problems, including in Cameroon, a key to resolving the issues is to produce sustained changes in people’s attitudes and actions towards wildlife. To prevent the extinction of Cameroon’s apes, a new, widespread community engagement program is urgently needed. Three well-established and widely respected primate sanctuaries in Cameroon – Ape Action Africa, Limbe Wildlife Centre, and Sanaga-Yong Rescue Center – conduct multifaceted community engagement programs.

  • 2016 Annual Report
    Pan African Sanctuary Alliance Annual Report 2016 Executive Summary The last year has seen the Pan African Sanctuary Alliance (PASA) establish a strong foundation which is enabling the Alliance to break new ground to protect Africa’s primates and their habitat. As the great apes near the brink of extinction, our work becomes more urgent than ever before, and is only possible because of your support. They desperately need your help - before it’s too late. A Unique Alliance PASA is a unique partnership of 22 wildlife centers in 13 countries that are leaders in the conservation and protection of great apes, monkeys, and their habitat. PASA member organizations collaborate with government agencies to arrest wildlife smugglers, rescue trafficked primates, organize forest patrols to enforce wildlife protection laws, and establish new national parks and other protected areas. Furthermore, PASA members educate hundreds of thousands of Africans every year about wildlife conservation, conduct pioneering community development programs that give people alternatives to illegally hunting wildlife, provide emergency veterinary treatment, and give loving care to nearly 3,000 great apes and monkeys rescued from horrific situations. PASA is a nonprofit organization registered in the United States which strengthens the capacity of our member wildlife centers to enable them to become more sustainable and maximize their impact on the conservation and welfare of humanity’s closest relatives. Rather than simply giving grants to organizations in Africa or repeatedly sending personnel overseas to conduct projects, PASA’s innovative approach unites our global perspective and international network with our members’ decades of experience in Africa as pioneers in primate protection.

Monkeypox virus is a zoonotic Orthopoxvirus (OPXV) that causes smallpox-like illness in humans. In Cameroon, human monkeypox cases were confirmed in 2018, and outbreaks in captive chimpanzees occurred in 2014 and 2016. We investigated the OPXV serological status among staff at a primate sanctuary (where the 2016 chimpanzee outbreak occurred) and residents from nearby villages, and describe contact with possible monkeypox reservoirs. We focused specifically on Gambian rats (Cricetomys spp.) because they are recognized possible reservoirs and because contact with Gambian rats was common enough to render sufficient statistical power.

However, PASA is converting difficulties into opportunities. It became clear in 2014 that there were different perspectives about the vision of the organization which needed to be addressed. In early 2015, the PASA Board of Directors discussed the organization’s mission and goals at great length and collaborated to write a new vision statement (which is below). Now the Board stands unified with a common perspective on the roles of PASA to support our member wildlife centers and protect the primates of Africa. Due to changes in personnel at the end of 2014, the Pan African Sanctuary Alliance’s programs and fundraising were scaled back through most of 2015, resulting in marked reductions in expenses and revenue.
