🎂HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, WANZA!
14 years that we rescued him. Alcohol harmed his growth. Today Wanza is as tall and strong as the big boys of his group!
Happy 14th Anniversary, Wanza!

September 5th – A sad anniversary for all of us at J.A.C.K.!
SEPTEMBER 5th 2006 – JAK & TOUZOMany years have passed already and I’m still too emotional about it. I miss THEM badly!
JAK, 14 years already
14 YEARS TODAY WE RESCUED “JAK”, the first chimp ever confiscated in the Katanga Province. “JAK” was assassinated in an arson. However, although Franck & I spent only a few months with this young primate, “JAK” gave us the strength to continue the fight to save his species… For years, our city, Lubumbashi, was a hub in ape trafficking. Today, no more chimps have been seen on sale on the streets for the last 6 years. A small victory we we won despite several threats, two arsons and the soooo many sacrifices we have been through during all these years… WE LOVE YOU “JAK”
Happy you, Seki!
💝 SEKI WAS RESCUED 12 YEARS AGO – he is one of our biggest males of the main group and is always full of energy! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, my boy!
Happy Anniversary, Mata!
Young chimpanzee MATA has just had his 5th Anniversary at J.A.C.K. time is flying by!
Mata’s anniversary is very imprtant to all of us at the sanctuary since he represents a victory against ape trafficking in the DRC. This young chimpanzee was confiscated 5 years ago and, since then, no other chimpanzees have been seen on the streets f Lubumbashi nor smuggled through the zabian border! Mata s the proof that wildlife trafficking can be stopped and he also represents HOPE to all the other wildlife organisations working daily to stop that illicit business!
Happy you, Coco!
COCO IS BLOWING 11 CANDLES TODAY! We rescued him in 2008: he was the pet of high ranking authorities and it took us two years to have him in a group at the sanctuary… Today, Coco is among the “big boys” we take care of at the sanctuary!!
Coco going to blow his 11th candle!
HELLO FROM COCO, one of our 15-year-old males. COCO arrived in 2008 in a very bad mental and physical condition. In two days, on April the 10th, he will blow his 11th Anniversary candle at J.A.C.K – will you wish him a happy Anniversary???
13 years already!
JAK, it’s been 13 long years now we rescued you and that you changed our lives completely… Today you are no longer with us but your memory and your name make us keep our fight in rescuing your species… The moments we spent together will remain forever in our hearts. We miss you so badly…
Sept. 5th – sad anniversary
JAK &TOUZO were 2 orphaned chimpanzees we rescued and who were killed in the 1st arson we went through in 2006. Someone put fire in the night room were the babies were sleeping: 3 managed to escape the flames, 2 died…
*JAK burnt to death in his sleep while TOUZO crossed the flames and left us a few days later because of the heavy burns he had…
These 2 orphans were tragically taken from us and, despite our grief and the insecurity we are facing ith our mission of saving apes, they both gave us more strength to achieve our mission: rescuing chimpanzees.
Today, 12 years after this arson, our pain and sorrow are still deep and hard to bear! I can’t find the words as I really regret they are no longer with us…
JAK &TOUZO, you are both still in our hearts!
