Jane Goodall Instagram – 🍃 Why are sanctuaries the best place for chimpanzees?
At JGI, we believe that chimpanzees belong in the wild—but when that’s not possible, sanctuaries like Tchimpounga and Chimp Eden provide the next best thing. 🌿
These specialized spaces offer chimpanzees the chance to live as naturally as possible, with expert care designed to let them express their natural behaviors, form social bonds, and experience a safe, enriching life. 🏞️
Sanctuaries give these incredible animals the environment they need—not just for survival, but to truly thrive. It’s the kind of care that honors their wild nature, and it’s always about what’s best for them—not our desires for interaction. 💚

The playground features climbing structures and ropes that mimic the complexities of their wild habitat. In the second scene, Kabi approaches the camera with a curious gait, while his similarly sized chimpanzee companion performs a playful barrel roll. In the background, two trained caretakers, dedicated to their rehabilitation and social development, attentively monitor and chaperone their playful interactions to ensure safety and well-being.
