The Tchimpounga Sanctuary, established in 1992, is located approximately 50 kilometers north of Pointe-Noire in the Kouilou Department of the Republic of the Congo. Spanning 70 square kilometers of savanna and forest, it is the largest chimpanzee sanctuary in Africa and is managed by the Jane Goodall Institute. This sanctuary provides refuge for orphaned chimpanzees rescued from the bushmeat trade and illegal wildlife trafficking. It also serves as a research center, contributing to studies on chimpanzee behavior, including social interactions and food-sharing. Tchimpounga is part of the Pan African Sanctuary Alliance, dedicated to the protection of great apes.
