Preferred Donation List for Great Apes

Project Bonobo

Project Bonobo is my quest to educate the plight of the Great Apes.  Please visit these sites below, even if you do not donate, send them a note telling them you appreciate what they are doing!

Herewith is a list of my preferred Great Ape sanctuaries that really are struggling financially and are out there on the front lines of the battle to save these incredible creatures.

Send them a note of solidarity and if you can, send them some money.  Every penny counts.  The best thing you can do is adopt an infant for as little as .70 cents a day!

Bonobos - adopt a baby bonobo!  Or give whatever you can give - every penny makes a difference.  The pictures on my blogs all came from Lola Ya Bonobo Sanctuary in DRCongo.



Chimpanzees - The pioneer in chimpanzee research, the Jane Goodall Foundation is an incredible charity.  The Cussins family in South Africa brings orphaned and neglected chimpanzees from all over Africa to their sanctuary and eventually releases them back to the wild.  For only USD$80.00 a year you can adopt a chimp!



Orangutans - these marvelous, smart creatures are at the point of extinction and it's because of the dependence of palm oil.  They are destroying the forest to use the land for farming.  Orangutans are only found in one little section of Indonesia.  There are a couple of sanctuaries literally existing on gas fumes and they have over 600 infant orphaned orangutans.  People kill the mother in order to sell the babies - for every 1 baby saved, three are killed or die.



Gorillas
- just about all the major zoos in the United States support this sanctuary in Cameroon.  As you can imagine, having a Gorilla sanctuary is a huge undertaking.  Visit this site and see for yourself.
