Give the Gift of Hope Donate Now The chimp you see above? That’s Kevin. A local community member heard him crying from inside a home in the Congo – likely being kept as a pet. His mother was likely sold for bushmeat just weeks earlier, leaving Kevin to the illegal pet trade. When he came to the Jane Goodall Institute’s Tchimpounga Sanctuary, he was scared and anxious – and not much was known about his health. His future was unclear. Thanks to our generous supporters, caregivers at Tchimpounga were able to provide Kevin with individualized and specialized care – giving him a second chance. Kevin has since bonded with other young chimps, and he’s now sociable and playful. Of course, Kevin is just one of the 150+ chimps currently at our sanctuary, receiving critically important care from an incredible team of on-the-ground experts. We need your help to make sure they can keep getting the care they need. Please support Tchimpounga’s most urgent needs. Give the gift of hope today. Your generous holiday gift today will go towards: Food, medicine, and supplies for more than 150 rescued chimpanzees at Tchimpounga Sanctuary; Caregiver salaries, veterinarian care, and eco-guard support for those who protect chimpanzees on the ground every single day; Global advocacy initiatives and campaigns to end the illegal wildlife trade for good; Continuing JGI’s community-centred conservation efforts to support people, so they can become conservation leaders. If you live in Canada and give $100 or more, we’ll send you an exclusive, plantable greeting card in time for the spring. It’s our way of showing you how grateful we are for your support. When you plant your card next spring, you’ll create new habitats for local pollinators and symbolize your commitment to conservation – at the same time. Your gifts also support our partnerships with local communities. While rescuing orphaned and injured chimpanzees is an important part of the Jane Goodall Institute’s mission, equally important are our partnerships with local communities. We work with them to connect people living near vital habitats – people who might otherwise turn to poaching to make money – with alternate sources of income. This is done to advance long-term sustainability, something that Dr. Jane has long championed. Supporting Sustainable Forestry To halt loss of important biodiversity, and to ensure forests around the world can continue to serve as “lungs” for our only home, sustainable forestry is needed. In the coastal regions of Kenya and Tanzania, thousands of community members are stepping up to implement sustainable solutions – and the Jane Goodall Institute of Canada is supporting this work. But we can’t do that without you. Join Us Supporting Women as Leaders of Community Development Women are coming together to create lasting change – contributing to the conservation and restoration of natural spaces, working to become more resilient to climate change, and leading community development initiatives. The Jane Goodall Institute of Canada is supporting this work, but we can’t do that without you. Join Us Supporting Sustainable Livelihoods When food security and income security are not present – when sustainable livelihoods are not possible – resource overuse wins and conservation initiatives lose. Our planet suffers. Women farmers in the Kedougou region of Senegal are working together to address this challenge, and to ensure people can live in better harmony with the natural world. The Jane Goodall Institute of Canada is supporting this work, but we need your help. Help Us Supporting Science in Conservation Conservation initiatives are most successful when our hearts and our brains work together. Bagida’waad Alliance – led by Chippewas of Nawash Fishing Families – understand this. Utilizing science and traditional knowledge, they are taking action to protect wildlife, water health, and the sensitive marine and forest ecosystems around Georgian Bay. The Jane Goodall Institute of Canada is supporting this work, but we need your help. Help Us Together, we can ensure that captive chimpanzees have a better life. Together, we can save wild chimpanzees in their forest homes. Dr. Jane Goodall
