Help Protect Wild Chimpanzees by Jane Goodall Institute
Motambo escaped, but his life was still in danger. The little chimp had been captured and sold into the illegal pet and bushmeat trade. When he arrived at the Jane Goodall Institute, he had horrific wounds and needed immediate medical intervention. The staff didn’t know if Motambo would survive.
With the love, care, and attention of staff, Motambo made it. Miraculous recoveries like his are possible because of innovative fundraising campaigns like R.O.A.R. (Reach Out. Act. Respond.) Spearheaded by the popular TV channel Animal Planet, R.O.A.R. is a key component of Discovery Impact, a philanthropic initiative of Discovery, Inc. Established in 2006 in partnership with GlobalGiving, R.O.A.R. is dedicated to improving the lives of animals in the wild and in communities where Discovery employees and customers live and work.
