• Role: Founder
• Organisation: Liberia Chimpanzee Rescue & Protection

Liberia Chimpanzee Rescue and Protection’s (LCRP) mission is to provide lifelong care for chimpanzees who are victims of Liberia’s bushmeat and live pet trades and help drive dynamic strategies in the fight against chimpanzee trafficking and the conservation of wild populations.

LCRP achieves this mission through:

• Believing the individual is paramount
• Creating, managing and maintaining one or more chimpanzee sanctuaries for the long-term care of chimpanzees who have been orphaned, abandoned, confiscated or are in need of assistance
• Playing a key role in the conservation of wild chimpanzee populations and their natural habitats
• Developing, through public awareness programs, an understanding and appreciation for chimpanzees and other wildlife and their habitats
• Believing in a holistic, total systems approach to the resolution of problems
• Continually improving our technologies with regard to the captive care of chimpanzees and their protection in the wild
• Ensuring that the captive population is managed in a way that will allow for reintroduction, if possible, to take place in the future
