After careful consideration, he was transferred back to the main sanctuary where he was slowly integrated into a new group. JGI’s Chimpanzee Welfare Index helped staff at Tchimpounga develop an individual care plan for Koungoulou, who was too dominant to integrate with other chimpanzees living at the sanctuary’s island sites. Zeze KoungoulouĪt Tchimpounga, every chimpanzee’s individual needs are our focus.

Their kinship and compassion, along with the professional care of JGI’s caregivers, present an opportunity for Zeze to see a future filled with hope. Though he will never recover his eye, Zeze has recovered a sense of family with the other rescued chimpanzees, like Perrine. Though the infant’s future seemed bleak, JGI’s expert staff devoted specialized care to him, making sure his caregiver provided 24-hour love and treatment. Because of Zeze’s injuries and malnourishment, the Angolan government worked with JGI to ensure the transport of Zeze to Tchimpounga. In 2020, little Zeze was attacked and lost his eye as a result of the illegal pet trade in Angola. This represents a sanctuary context with trained professionals.* Zeze Perrine *JGI does not endorse handling or close proximity to wildlife. Today, she can walk, play, and even climb. After weeks on the brink, thanks to JGI’s expert staff Perrine started to eat on her own. JGI caretaker and surrogate mother Antoinette then spent every moment with Perrine, 24 hours a day, gently feeding her to make sure she had adequate nutrition. JGI staff performed a blood transfusion-one of only two known successful chimpanzee-to-chimpanzee blood transfusions performed across countries in Africa, both at Tchimpounga. The situation was dire as she was also anemic and had a fever. At two years old, Perrine was severely underweight, weighing less than six pounds (at birth, chimpanzees typically weigh four pounds). Rebeca Atencia, executive director of JGI RoC, flew from Spain to Republic of the Congo to save the infant’s life. Just before 2020 began, Perrine was found in the remote village of Enyelle in northern Republic of the Congo, stolen for the illegal wildlife trade. To celebrate the brave work of Tchimpounga’s staff, here are just a handful of success stories from 2020! Perrine While the COVID-19 pandemic necessitated some adjustments, that did not stop the mission. JGI’s Tchimpounga Chimpanzee Rehabilitation Center in the Republic of Congo has been rescuing captive chimpanzees for nearly 30 years.
