Learning is in full swing as the new year begins at JGI’s Tchimpounga sanctuary. For young chimpanzees, play isn’t just fun and games—it’s essential for healthy development. Through chasing, wrestling, climbing, and social play, infant and juvenile chimps build motor skills, balance, and strength, while learning how to communicate, cooperate, and resolve conflict. Play allows them to practice social cues, build trust, and form the bonds needed to thrive in chimpanzees’ highly complex social comm

New year, new fitness goals 💪🐵 As many of us find ourselves back in the gym this January, the young chimpanzees at the Jane Goodall Institute’s Tchimpounga sanctuary have been training year-round. Their “workouts” may look a little different: swinging through trees, climbing vines, sprinting, and testing their strength with friends. Every movement plays an important role. This kind of play is more than fun. It helps build the muscles, coordination, confidence, and problem-solving skills chimpa

Dr. Jane discovered that we, as humans, have more in common with chimpanzees than we ever knew: "Understanding what chimpanzees are like has made me realize that we humans are not so different from other animals as we used to think." And yet, even with our many similarities, chimpanzee societies work very differently than our own. Instead of staying in groups that don't change, chimpanzees live in "fission fusion" social systems. But what does that even mean? Chimpanzee communities are quite lar

“The chimpanzees of Gombe have taught me much—not only about their lives but about our own," says Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE. "The mother-infant bond, so strikingly similar to ours, is essential to the survival of their young. Observing them deepened my appreciation for my own mother and taught me profound lessons about motherhood—and now, about being a grandmother.” In 1960, a young Jane Goodall arrived in Gombe, Tanzania, chasing her dream of telling stories about chimpanzees.

Male chimpanzees are typically portrayed as aggressive and dominating, but the long-term research conducted at the Jane Goodall Institute's Gombe Stream Research Centre has shown that they can also form deep, caring, and loving bonds. 💚 One of the scientific advisors and wildlife videographers for the Jane Goodall Institute, Bill Wallauer, saw one of these bonds up close. Here is what he had to say: "The story of Dilli was a bit tragic in the early 1990s. Her mother, Dominie, transferred to the

At JGI’s Tchimpounga sanctuary, every day is filled with exploration, growth, and connection. From foraging and climbing to forming friendships (including a young gorilla, ZZ, bonding with chimpanzees her age), the sanctuary provides a safe space for rescued wildlife to thrive. Thanks to the dedication of our team and supporters, this important work continues to help chimpanzees recover, grow, and experience the joy of life in a protected environment. 🐵💚 🎥: Fernando Turmo 🎶: Scott Buckley #T

Across Africa, chimpanzee populations continue to decline due to habitat loss, illegal wildlife trafficking, disease, and human and wildlife conflict. But their story is deeply connected to ours. Chimpanzees help maintain healthy forests, which support biodiversity, stabilize climates, and provide resources that millions of people rely on. When we protect chimpanzees, we protect the ecosystems that sustain us all. At the Jane Goodall Institute, we are working every day to ensure a future where c

ZZ continues to grow and heal at Tchimpounga Sanctuary. As she grows under our world-class care, ZZ is engaging in more interspecies play – and spending more time with infant chimpanzees in curious, energetic moments out in the forest. These meaningful interactions offer an interesting look into early development, social learning, and the importance of connection. It is also an important reminder that community supports growth at every stage of life – no matter of who you are! Photo: Fernando Tu

From Clinging to Climbing: A Primate Lesson? 🐵🍼 Chimpanzees are among the most altricial species in the animal kingdom — meaning they are born highly dependent on their mothers for survival. A newborn chimpanzee clings to its mother’s body for months, nurses for about five years, and continues to learn from her for at least a decade. Even as juveniles, chimps stay close to their mothers, relying on her for comfort, protection, and essential survival skills like tool use and foraging techniques

🐵👥 Chimpanzee societies don’t run like ours. They follow a fission–fusion social system, where connection doesn’t depend on constant togetherness. 🍃 Chimp communities are large and tightly bonded, yet they rarely move as one. Throughout the day, individuals split into smaller groups—or even travel solo—to forage, rest, patrol, or explore, then reunite later. These ever-changing combinations help chimps respond to shifting food sources and ease social tension. 🧠 It’s a careful dance of cooper
