Give monkeys space!

It is has been too long since my last blog, while there is really so much to tell. If you could pay a visit to the Limbe Wildlife Centre now, you would see that the entrance is nicely painted, with new plants along the wall. Then you would come in and go to the new gorilla pavilion, where you would have a great view over the gorillas that are high up in the trees. We are still working on the education signboards in and around the pavilion, but that will be ready before your next visit! During your visit you would of course see all the 15 species of monkeys and apes that live in the LWC. When you would be almost at the end of the tour you would see a giant construction of pipes.

This is the new enclosure for our guenons. I am very happy with this new construction, because the old enclosure is about to fall down. The new enclosure is bigger, has better separation possibilities and there is even a real tree growing inside. But I must say, it also costs a lot of money! We have received building materials from San Diego Zoo and money from Pro-Wildlife, but we still need more money to complete the enclosure. You can help us giving the monkeys the space they need, by making a donation through the paypal option on this page. Thank you very much for your support.

I will write more often again, so we will keep in touch!

Best wishes,

Simone

    That is great to hear! I love reading this blog whenever you post new entries, it helps to keep me in the loop. I am so glad to hear the guenons will get such an enclosure expansion, it was needed and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated. The progress since I was last there is phenomenal. I cannot believe how much has happened and how much you all have done in such a short amount of time..and cannot wait until I am able to return!
