## Baboon Islands, last hope for some chimpanzees

The River Gambia Nationalpark in the Central River Region includes the Baboon Islands with mainly tropical rainforest. Moreover, the islands are home to the chimpanzees rehabilitation project Badi Mayo. Chimps, confiscated from the international illegal animal trade have been released here.
It is regarded as the eldest project of this kind in Africa. A visit of the islands is only allowed with official permission.
