Chimpanzee Sanctuary and Wildlife Conservation Trust

The Chimpanzee Sanctuary and Wildlife Conservation Trust "was established in 1988. This Trust manages the Ngamba Island sanctuary, situated in Lake Victoria, Uganda. The Sanctuary comprises 100 acres of rainforest and houses orphaned chimps that have been saved from poachers and illegal trade. While the Board has supported this project through direct financial assistance for construction of facilities, purchase of equipment and veterinary support it is no longer a Trustee. Taronga Zoo staff members have also participated in educational programme support, behavioural studies and technical assistance."
