You could choose to care for the orphaned chimpanzees at the Tchimpounga Chimpanzee Rehabilitation Centre in the Republic of Congo with a symbolic ‘ Chimp Guardian’ adoption! If you’d like to help continue Dr Goodall’s legacy, please consider donating to support our work. Extremely capable communicators, chimpanzees use both their vocalizations as well as their body movement to convey to others both near and far their emotions and motives as well as signalling danger. They eat mostly fruit, but also other plant matter including leaves, blossoms, and stems, and supplement their diet with insects, birds, bird eggs, honey and small mammals. All four subspecies of chimpanzee are highly social – living in multi-male/multi-female groups of five to as many as 50 individuals which form through what is known as fission-fusion dynamics and are governed by an alpha male and alpha female. Spanning such a wide range from west to east Africa, they live in a variety of habitat types including rainforests, savanna and woodland mosaics. schweinfurthii), native to 21 countries across their range in equatorial Africa. troglodytes) and the Eastern Chimpanzee ( P. This dramatic decline in chimpanzee populations is largely due to a range of primary threats including habitat loss, degradation & fragmentation killing and trade of chimpanzees from cultural and subsistence hunting, the commercial bushmeat and live animal trade, and human/chimpanzee conflict as well as zoonotic disease transmission.įour subspecies of chimpanzee are commonly recognised: the Western Chimpanzee ( Pan troglodytes verus) the Nigeria-Cameroon Chimpanzee ( P. Numbering between 1-2 million only a century ago, today, estimates of chimpanzee populations are between 150,000 – 350,000 individuals. Above all, these observations have taught us that chimpanzees must be protected but sadly, their numbers have been declining. From tool use and maternal care to territoriality, hunting and meat eating, the Gombe chimpanzees have demonstrated great diversity in behaviour – and how similar they are to humans. Over 60 years of researching chimps in the wild at Gombe have led scientists to learn a great deal about chimpanzee’s complex social lives, personalities and intelligence. Sharing more than 98% of our DNA, chimpanzees are closer to humans than any other non-human primate.
In South Africa and Republic of Congo, we support sanctuaries ran by other Jane Goodall Institutes that provide safe havens for chimpanzees who have been orphaned/survived the wild meat trade, sold in illegal pet markets, or used as entertainment in circuses, beach resorts and night clubs.Ĭhimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes) are one of the five species of great apes, alongside gorillas, orangutans, bonobos and ourselves.
Here at the Jane Goodall Institute UK, we support the protection of the Critically Endangered Western chimpanzee ( Pan troglodytes verus) in Senegal.
