Centre de Conservation pour Chimpanzés

Parc National du Haut Niger, Guinea

---

The Centre de Conservation pour Chimpanzés (CCC), located within Parc National du Haut Niger in Guinea, is the country’s leading chimpanzee sanctuary and rehabilitation center.

Established in 1997, it rescues orphaned chimpanzees confiscated from the illegal wildlife trade and provides them with long-term care, rehabilitation, and, whenever possible, preparation for a return to the wild. Situated in one of West Africa’s most important chimpanzee habitats, the center also supports conservation, scientific research, environmental education, and community development programs.

It is internationally recognized for its successful chimpanzee release efforts, making it a key contributor to the protection of both the endangered West African chimpanzee and the ecosystems of Parc National du Haut Niger.
