In support of the Centre de Conservation pour Chimpanzés

Coco Project Primate, Inc. is a United States 501C (3) not-for-profit organization dedicated to the protection and preservation of chimpanzees, chiefly through the support and rehabilitation of chimpanzees who have been orphaned or otherwise taken from the wild, and through local public education.


chimps on a walk Project Primate is working to secure the future of the Chimpanzee Conservation Center (CCC) and at an existing site in the National Park du Haut Niger, Guinea, which is currently home to 41 orphaned and confiscated chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes verus).



Simian in the Spotlight: Max

Max upon arrival

Max: male, approximate DOB - mid 2004.
Max was confiscated in Faranah. He was spotted by Kenda, one of the CCC's keepers. At the time, he was in good shape and due to space constraint, we decided to postpone his confiscation until it was Kenda's weekend to go to Faranah. Once we got him, he was in such bad physical and mental condition, that we didn't think we were going to be able to save him. He had a Candida outbreak in the mouth and plaque Max after 2 months at CCC on his teeth that we had to remove. He always had a good appetite and a strong will to live. For the first 2 weeks at the center, he was under 24 hours care. He even slept in the director's bed! He has now come around and every new laugh is a small victory. He is now integrated into the quarantine group and is doing very well. Find out about the other chimps at CCC in our "Who's Who" Section.
