Cameraman Vianet D’jenguet visits the famous chimpanzee sanctuary Tchimpounga, 27 square miles of forest and savannah, the largest chimp sanctuary in all of Africa. He meets their newest resident, a orphan who arrived just a few weeks ago.
TRANSCRIPT
The latest orphan arrived just a few weeks ago.
I think this is the foundation of rehabilitating these guys - it starts here, they need to get that sort of warmth from human, and trust from human.
His surrogate mother is a woman named Patience - and she couldn't possess a better quality.
Hahaha .. that's, that's like my son.
Up to now humans have not been his friends - until he was rescued by the Government and brought here to the sanctuary.
Ooo oooh..... I think he likes me; he is responding... She tells me he is the first orphan in nearly three years which is a good thing.
And it's not the only sign of hope.
