Update Tingitingi, our last rescue. He is doing ok, he has external and internal parasites, which is causing diarrhoea. We are treating him accordingly. He is about one and a half years old, and for now he is not showing psychological trauma. He is relax and he even laughs and plays. He is picky about food, but at least he is drinking well the cerelac. He eats a bit of banana and pineapple. We will keep you updated #notpets #endangeredspecies #lwiro_primates #savinglives #providinghope #secondchance #rescue #update #love #care

And sadly we need to announce a new rescue today. Tingitingi was rescued by the rangers of ICCN Maiko NP. He was illegally held by militaries. We are deeply sorry for his mum, who certainly was killed. We dream about one day when our work will not be necessary, one day when chimps will be safe in the forest, where they really belong. Thanks to your support we are able to keep saving lives as Tingitingi. Thanks for the amazing day yesterday ❤️ #lwiro_primates #rescue #endangeredspecies #conservation #notpets
