Mission, Vision, objectives
Our vision
The chimpanzee population of West Africa has the right to live and thrive in its original habitat. The present threats to its sustainable survival need to be warded off. To achieve this is of global interest and a joint responsibility shared between the world community and the local population.
Our mission
Our mission is to guarantee the long-term survival of the western chimpanzee population through community-based conservation in the Boé, Guinea Bissau.
We link committed communities to international support by scientists and conservationists, and to eco-tourists. This enhances successful conservation both inside the National Parks and Ecological Corridors of the Boé and in the remaining part of the Boé.
We strive for a balance between the needs of people, planet and profit in order to make nature conservation sustainable.
Objectives
The statutory objectives of Chimbo are:
– the conservation and where necessary restoration of the chimpanzee population in West Africa and the natural environment in which they live;
– to undertake all sorts of actions that are supportive of the above goal.
