IDA-Africa's efforts on behalf of the great apes of Cameroon are made possible by supporters around the world. The chimpanzees at Sanaga-Yong Chimpanzee Rescue Center and the free living chimpanzees and gorillas of Cameroon are the greatest inspiration ~ yours and ours.
We share photos and stories of the chimpanzees because we love bringing them closer to people everywhere and because we know you love seeing them.
But we are quite often asked about the day-to-day operations of Sanaga-Yong Center; the human and logistical aspects of our work that enable us to provide care and protection for chimpanzee orphans of the illegal bushmeat trade.

The Sanaga-Yong Chimpanzee Rescue Center is located in the Mbargue forest of Cameroon near the confluence of the Sanaga and Yong rivers.
Below are informative links to our website to accompany the slide show:
Jacky, Becky and Pepe were the first three residents at Sanaga-Yong, Dr. Speede's initial inspirations to do something to make a difference.
The illegal commercial bushmeat trade coupled with habitat destruction are the primary threats to remaining free living great apes. Even in the US, chimpanzee and gorilla meat is consumed.
Bush Telegraph newlsetter is full of stories about the chimpanzees, political and community relations, progress at Sanaga-Yong Center, and much more.
