🐒🌿 This is the last of 2025, and Janil’s climbing skills are only getting better.
In today’s video, you’ll see how she plays, slips, falls and then climbs right back up again.

And that’s exactly the spirit we’re taking with us into 2026:
let’s climb higher, keep learning through play, and when we fall, let’s get back up again. ✨

See you in 2026! 💛🐒

🎄🐒 This comes with a little Christmas cheer!
Janil is in a playful mood, dipping her hand into the river and splashing about, while mum Joy stays close by, keeping a eye on her.

With Christmas just around the corner, this joyful moment feels like the perfect way to celebrate: curious, playfull, and full of togetherness.
From our chimps to you: wishing you a very merry, playful, and peaceful Christmas! ✨🌿

🐆✨ Camera Trap Thursday gives us a moment that feels very familiar.
A leopard strolls by, then suddenly flops onto his back, belly up, just like a house cat at home.

Some habits never change, no matter how wild you are. 🌿

This season is all about kindness, generosity, and caring for those who need it most.
And in Loango, that includes the Rekambo chimpanzees and the people who work every day to protect them.

If you’ve enjoye our Advent Calendar, the stories, the babies, the wild moments, and the laughter…
please consider making a donation to support our work.

Even the smallest gift makes a difference.
It helps our field assistants, guides, students, and researchers continue tracking the chimps, studying their behavior, protecting their habitat, and making sure they can keep living safely in the wild.

Your support also helps us learn more about their world and, in many ways, about our own.

If you can, please consider giving a little this Christmas.
Together, we can make sure the forests stay full of life, sound, and stories.

Please visit ozouga.org to learn more or to donate

Thank you for being part of this journey.
