CHIMPANZEE CONSERVATION
CENTER
What is CCC?
The Centre de Conservation pour Chimpanzés (CCC) is located in the Republic of Guinea, in the heart of the Upper Niger National Park in the Faranah prefecture. The sanctuary was created in 1997 in response to the emergency situation facing chimpanzee populations. A Guinean heritage treasure, their numbers are constantly declining, approaching the threshold of extinction. The CCC is supported by the NGO Projet Primates.
OUR MISSIONS
RESCUE
Seized by the Guinean authorities, the orphaned chimpanzees are taken in to provide them with the best possible living conditions and prepare them for a return to the wild.
RELEASE
In order to return to freedom and their natural habitat, the chimpanzees rescued undergo a long rehabilitation process lasting several years at CCC.
EDUCATION
Local populations are made aware of the threats facing chimpanzees. They learn about the importance of protecting this species and its habitat.
PARTICIPATE
The Center actively participates in the community development of the people living around the sanctuary and release sites.
