Ngamba Island At 25 Years! This year, 2023, marks 25 years of existence of the sanctuary. Over the last 25 years, Ngamba Island has received a number of orphaned and rescued chimpanzees with a few born at the sanctuary. Currently, the sanctuary is home to 53 chimpanzees. The 25th-anniversary celebrations aim to raise awareness about the importance of conserving chimpanzees and their natural habitats. The theme for this celebration is “Partnerships for co-existence”, to promote the need for humans and wildlife to live in harmony in shared environments. The celebrations will be graced by the founder of the Jane Goodall Institute, Dr. Jane Goodall; a world-renowned ethologist and UN peace ambassador and a focal person in the establishment of the sanctuary as a project of the Uganda Chapter of the Jane Goodall Institute. To celebrate this remarkable 25-year journey and set the stage for the next quarter-century, we have launched a unique fundraising campaign.
