Sacred Bodies

It is no mystery that wild animals are hunted and poached by all kinds of illicit forces. From those looking to sell their meat in unethical markets, to the poachers who sell their parts abroad, Ape Action Africa realized that these endangered Cameroonian animals needed a place like Mefou Primate Sanctuary.

It was then up to the sanctuary’s staff to make sure that these threatened creatures could be properly protected from those that would happily harm them. These weren’t your ordinary wildlife park workers, however. They were incredibly committed to their charges.
