Founded in 1998, The Chimpanzee Trust has become a leading organization in the areas of 1) chimpanzee-focused environmental conservation, 2) excellence in the care & welfare of rescued chimpanzees, 3) increased public awareness of broader conservation issues with the chimpanzee as a key flagship species, and 4) engagement with communities living alongside chimpanzee populations. Our areas of focus include: The daily care and lifetime welfare of the 49 rescued chimpanzees living at the Ngamba Island Sanctuary who cannot be returned to the wild; The long-term management and viability of the sanctuary; The intervention and assistance of individuals in the wild when deemed necessary; The conservation education of the Ugandan public with particular emphasis on chimpanzees; Ecotourism, community participation, capacity building through training, and building viable regional, national and international partnerships on chimpanzee conservation
