Tacugama turns 15
This year marks an important milestone – September 2010 is our 15th Anniversary!
Much has happened since we first opened our doors in 1995 with just eight chimps. Today we care for 100 rescued chimpanzees and Tacugama is widely recognised for the work we are doing in law enforcement, education, habitat conservation, wild chimpanzee research, ecotourism and community development.
It has not been an easy fifteen years and we would not have got this far without the help of our supporters: individuals and organizations, international and local. Thanks to them all we have been able to care for and protect chimpanzees in Sierra Leone.
We have important plans for the future and hope that you will join in our 15th Anniversary fundraising celebrations so that we can build on our achievements and ensure that we make a lasting difference to conservation in Sierra Leone.

We're pleased to be able to present you with a short documentary film about Tacugama. We hope that this will give you a better insight to the sanctuary, our day to day work, challenges and aspirations, especially if you have never had the opportunity to visit us in Sierra Leone. We're very grateful to Paul Glynn, who filmed and produced this documentary as a gift for Tacugama after visiting us in December 2008. click to open video in new page
