Wonderful news is that we've met our funding goal and Toto will very soon be headed to the Chimpanzee Conservation Centre sanctuary in Guinea! We plan on continuing support of Toto indefinitely and are arranging to have his main caretaker stay with him at the sanctuary from 3-6 months.
Needless to to say we could not have done this without the leadership of Janis Carter and the support of Friends of Animals after we rescued Toto in 2012. And Neighbor Ape's support of Toto would have been impossible without the generous donations of donors like yourself!
While we originally held out hope that Toto might be returned to his family group, given the changes associated with the gold rush and its associated influx of people as well as Toto's very large size for his age, the possibility of reuniting him with the Fongoli chimpanzees was rejected as being too risky.
We are very hopeful that Toto will fit in wonderfully at the CCC, and we will provide updates on social media as we receive them. Of course we all think Toto will be alpha male one day!
