World Ranger Day 💪🏾

It’s the one day each year dedicated to the people who rarely stand in the spotlight: the rangers.

They often work behind the scenes, but their role is essential. At Tacugama, our rangers and eco-guards work across different protected areas in Sierra Leone.

Within the past few months, in partnership with the WFP | World Food Programme , we have recruited 98 additional Eco-guards🙌🏽

They are our eyes and ears in the forest. They patrol remote areas, remove snares, monitor wildlife, build strong relationships with local communities, respond to reports of wildlife crime, support chimpanzee rescues when needed, and help protect one of the country’s most important natural landscapes.

Visits that leave a lasting impact. 💚

We were delighted to welcome the Sharafdeen family from MultiTech Africa SL LTD to Tacugama. They didn’t just come to experience the sanctuary and meet the rescued chimpanzees, they also surprised us with an incredibly thoughtful gift.

💡Their donation of six solar lighting kits will help illuminate our visitor areas, making the sanctuary more welcoming and accessible for everyone who comes to learn about Sierra Leone’s wildlife.

Conservation is about more than protecting wildlife. It’s about people coming together, sharing ideas and finding practical ways to make a difference.

A heartfelt thank you to the Sharafdeen family and MultiTech SL for your generosity and for choosing to support Tacugama. We hope to welcome you back again soon! 🌿

A glimpse of the life they were meant to live. 🌿

We cannot give rescued chimps their old lives back. But at Tacugama, we hope to give them the next best thing: a protected forest enclosures, other chimps around them, and the freedom to simply be a chimp.

And thanks to the support of so many of you, we can continue to make that possible. 💚

Wishing you a beautiful week from the forest. 🌿

We couldn’t be happier with this beautiful collaboration with Earth Rangers! 💚🌿

Children are the future of conservation. When they get the chance to discover chimpanzees, understand the forests they depend on, and learn why protecting wildlife matters, we plant seeds that can grow for a lifetime.

That is why education is such an important part of conservation.

Together with Earth Rangers, we are bringing the story of chimpanzees closer to a new generation, inspiring curiosity, empathy and a love for the natural world.

Because protecting chimpanzees is not only about the work we do today. It is also about inspiring the people who will care for them tomorrow. 🐵🌍

We are incredibly grateful to Earth Rangers for helping us share that message.

Watch the video and meet the world of Tacugama through the eyes of young conservationists. 💚

This rescued baby chimp is using a stick to fish for ants… we think...
