“Not only is the Zoo contributing funds raised by our Taronga Foundation to Tchimpounga, which is the Africa’s largest chimpanzee sanctuary, but we are also providing expert advice on the ground, sending specialists in veterinary science, behavioural research and construction. Mr Kerr said: “We’re delighted to have Jane with us again, in the latest chapter in a long partnership that began with our contribution to the global Chimpanzoo research project and continued with our joint involvement in Uganda’s N’Gamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary.” Taronga’s Director, Cameron Kerr, also confirmed $150,000 in funding for Tchimpounga to Dr Goodall at Taronga’s Chimpanzee exhibit during her Australia visit which celebrates 50 years since her famous Chimpanzee research on the shores of Lake Tanganyika began and 20 years since she launched her youth environment movement, Roots and Shoots.
