A rehabilitation center for orphaned and confiscated chimps
Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary was founded in 1995 by conservationist Bala Amarasekaran and his wife Sharmila. Initially established to enforce wildlife laws and rescue and rehabilitate orphaned chimpanzees, Tacugama has grown into a diverse conservation organization actively engaged in community outreach, wildlife field research, environmental sustainability, conservation education and alternative livelihoods programs. They were instrumental in having the chimpanzee named the official animal of Sierra Leone.
