As we reflect on the progress made in chimpanzee conservation this year, we’re pleased to share the impact of our efforts in protecting both chimpanzee habitats and local communities, made possible by the generous support of our GlobalGiving donors. This year, our dedicated team has worked tirelessly to develop human-wildlife coexistence strategies and ensure the well-being of both wildlife and people.
Our conservation efforts continue to make strides in protecting chimpanzees while uplifting the communities that share their habitats.This year marked the launch of a new education programme set to benefit nearly 1,000 children across more than 16 schools by 2025. By instilling conservation values at an early age, we are laying the foundation for lasting change. Education has always been at the forefront of our mission, with our partner’s providing nature clubs to116 children from five villages. These clubs foster environmental stewardship and empower the next generation to cherish and protect wildlife.In addition, workshops on forest conservation reached 150 individuals across three villages, reinforcing the importance of sustainable practices.
Our work in sustainable livelihoods also achieved meaningful results, with 170 litres of honey harvested from community beekeeping initiatives. While the 35 Kenyan beehives installed in northern villages were less productive than anticipated—likely due to excessive warmth—efforts are underway to explore modifications that better suit local conditions.
Challenges persist, particularly with agricultural projects. Heavy rains and an extended rainy season delayed the rice field initiatives, meaning planting schedules could not be met this season. However, these experiences provide an opportunity to refine our approaches and adapt to changing environmental conditions.
As we look to the future, the expansion of our education programmeremains a priority, bringing conservation awareness to more schools and communities. We are proud of the progress made and are grateful for the support that makes this work possible. Your contributions help us safeguard the future of chimpanzees and ensure that communities and wildlife can coexist peacefully.
Together, with your support, we are working towards a brighter future for chimpanzees and the communities who protect them.
