Chimpanzees, DRC 2016

Departing to a dangerous paradise to make a difference in a stunning but rough area dealing with the aftermath of war. We are preparing our trip to the Centre de Rehabilitation des Primates de Lwiro in the Democratic Republic of Congo, helping chimps, baboons, many more primates and the young people who are struggling to get back on their feet.

 Chimpanzees, South Africa 2015

We were asked to do interim management of a chimpanzee sanctuary. And not just any sanctuary, but Chimp Eden! The one we, as many others, watched on tv fantasizing about a job and a life like that. Literally the dream job. It was interesting to live the reality of that dream including all amazing things but also all the difficulties and struggles that are never part of dreams.

Vervets, Malawi 2014

We did it again! The amazing process of releasing primates who have been victims of the bushmeat or pet trade back into the wild. This is not without risks for them: vervets are a much sought after prey and need more time to adapt than baboons. But they got the chance to be wild and free and a stable group survived and is now doing well. Another successful release for the Lilongwe Wildlife Centre.

Yellow Baboons, Malawi 2013

What is the best ever thing you can do for an animal that has been the victim of wildlife crime? Rehabilitate them and set them free! We got the chance to be part of this amazing process for 26 baboons of the Lilongwe Wildlife Centre. We released them back into the wild and we were there to guide them every step of the way. Protecting and studying them, while step by step our furry kids became more independent.

Bonobos, Democratic Republic Congo 2006

Bonobos are magical. Intelligent, self-aware, with an interesting society of powerful women and more sex than war. And their own language, not only body language but also a spoken language. This is what Anne studied at Lola ya Bonobo a sanctuary for orphaned bonobos in the DR Congo.
