Ape Action Africa

Our Story

Ape Action Africa, originally established as Cameroon Wildlife Aid Fund in 1996, has evolved into a leading force for primate conservation in Cameroon. Initially focused on improving conditions for primates at Mvog Betsi Zoo, the organization has expanded its mission to rescue and rehabilitate orphaned primates affected by illegal bushmeat and pet trades. In 2009, the rebranding to Ape Action Africa highlighted its commitment to protecting great apes and working with local communities to safeguard their natural heritage.

Impact

With the sanctuary at Mefou, Ape Action Africa has become one of Africa's largest wildlife rescue operations, providing vital care for primates in need.

Monthly donations are crucial for the ongoing care of over 280 primates at Mefou. For just £3, you can feed a baby chimp for a day. Each animal requires more than £1000 annually for care, and every contribution directly supports their rehabilitation and well-being.
