2008
got off to a flying start with the launch of the
hugely successful ‘Escape to Chimp Eden’ series
on Animal Planet in the US. It is generating
great ongoing acclaim and interest in JGI SA
Chimpanzee Eden. I’d like to thank the team,
particularly Marcus van der Merwe, Pauline
Stuart and Phillip Cronje, for all your help in
responding to the masses of emails that have
flooded us over the past few months. The vast
majority have been hugely positive, although we
have had to field some criticism as well. Read
more about the series in this issue.

At
the Sanctuary the new enclosure has been
completed, and we hope to embark on building
sleeping quarters soon. Josephine, Tony and
Sampa have now all served their quarantine
period, and are being introduced to their new
family groups. JGI SA Chimpanzee Eden now boasts
new restaurant and education facilities, and our
volunteer programme has taken off.
Plans are well underway for the next two rescue
missions in Angola and Sudan once Eugene returns
from his second whirlwind promotional tour in
the US.
Kind regards
Sue Slotar
Executive director
