It’s been a while since the last blog, but that doesn’t mean that nothing has happened at the Limbe Wildlife Centre. On the contrary, it has been a very busy month. Last week we had to say goodbye to Felix Lankester, who has been the manager for 5 years. His presence will be missed, but the results of his work will benefit the LWC for many years to come: a great veterinary team in a well equipped vet room / laboratory, an incredible chimpanzee enclosure, a properly trained and well organised staff, etc. But although the LWC has grown in many ways in the last years, there is still a lot of work to be done.

I am honoured to have taken over the manager’s position from Felix and I am looking forward to work on the further developments that are necessary to live up to the high standards we have set for ourselves. I would like to introduce to you the new assistant project manager: Anne Sofie Meilvang. Sofie comes from Danmark and is a biologist with experience in conservation education. I am looking forward to working with her and hope she will have just as much fun in her job as I have had in the past years. Together we will work on the further integration of our chimpanzees in the new Born Free chimpanzee enclosure, the building of a guenon enclosure, the expansion of our education program and all the other plans we have. We will keep you informed on this blog.
