We support
For every $50 spent on our products, ergogo donates $1 to Liberia Chimpanzee Rescue & Protection (LCRP) in West Africa. Founded by wildlife veterinarian, Jimmy Desmond, and his wife Jenny, the organisation cares for orphaned chimpanzees. Usually, their mothers have been killed by poachers for the bushmeat, or the orphans have been rescued from the illegal pet trade.
LCRP partners with many well-respected, international wildlife conservation organisations to arrest and charge traffickers and poachers. These organisations include The Jane Goodall Institute, Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International, Uganda Wildlife Education Centre, EcoHealth Alliance and the Smithsonian Institute.
LCRP provides an orphanage as well as a sanctuary. A dedicated team cares for the orphans, who often arrive traumatised, and need round-the-clock care. As they get older, they are carefully rehabilitated, so they learn to thrive with other chimpanzees in LCRP’s 100-acre forest sanctuary. LCRP continues to work with the Liberian government, international organisations and locals on this and other wildlife protection and conservation initiatives.
By purchasing an ergogo product, you are helping LCRP to save chimpanzees in need and keep wild chimpanzees wild.
