Neighbor Ape Non-Profit

Neighbor Ape is a 501(c)3 organization that will, "conserve the habitat of wild chimpanzees in southeastern Senegal, to protect the chimpanzees themselves, and to provide for the wellbeing of the Senegalese people who have traditionally lived in the area alongside these chimpanzees".

 

Our goal is to promote sustainable conservation practices that take into account the needs of local humans, in part by providing assistance to the people of the various local villages.

 

Immediate plans include providing mosquito netting to as many families as possible and to send two more children from Fongoli village to school in the nearby town of Kedougou.

Problems chimpanzees face are the same ones that humans will also face soon with increasing resource extraction and environmental change.
