Another T-shirt campaign for Toto

Orphan chimpanzee Toto is doing well in Senegal. He has surpassed the year mark, though he is actually the size of a 3 or 4-year old wild chimp! He will need to be cared for for another year even if he is returned to a wild or free-ranging situation in which he does not have access to a nursing female.

Get your "Ape for Toto" T-shirt and help support the little guy's care!

Neighbor Ape Non-Profit Organization

WE ARE NOW INCORPORATED as a 501(c)3 organization that will, "conserve the habitat of wild chimpanzees in southeastern Senegal, to protect the chimpanzees themselves, and to provide for the wellbeing of the Senegalese people who have traditionally lived in the area alongside these chimpanzees". Our goal is to promote sustainable conservation practices that take into account the needs of local humans, in part by providing assistance to the people of the various local villages. Immediate plans include providing mosquito netting to as many families as possible and to send two more children from Fongoli village to school in the nearby town of Kedougou.
