Project Primate, Inc supports the Chimpanzee Conservation Center (Centre de Conservation pour Chimpanzés) in combating the illegal pet trade by caring for orphaned confiscated chimpanzees, maintaining a viable, self-sustaining population within the Haut-Niger National Park (Parc National du Haut Niger) in Guinea by ensuring long-term protection of the park, enhancing the genetic diversity of the Pan troglodytes verus population within the park by releasing chimpanzees, and promoting conservation awareness locally and nationwide in the USA. PPI also supports the local Ivorian NGO, Akatia, that aims to improve the welfare and conservation of primates in Cote d’Ivoire and to establish the first in-country sanctuary for orphaned chimpanzees in order to curb the illegal pet trade. The Chimpanzee Conservation Center is a sanctuary that was established in 1997 to address increasing declines in chimpanzee populations due to the illegal pet trade. The main goals of the CCC are to: Rescue orphaned chimpanzees confiscated by the Guinean government, and provide them with the best living conditions possible. Release chimpanzees, when possible, into the wild after completion of thei.
