Bushmeat Orphan Finds a Home at JGI-Chimpanzee Eden
A young chimpanzee that had been kept at a diamond mining camp after being rescued from poachers in the Central African Republic (CAR) has been successfully transferred to the JGI-Chimpanzee Eden sanctuary in South Africa.
The chimpanzee, nicknamed “Claudine,” is estimated to be less than five years old. It is believed her mother was killed for bushmeat by hunters in the CAR.
