Survivor of a large illegal network. He spent 3 days in a wooden crate without light. Today, he's a whirlwind of life climbing from tree to tree and loves dropping branches on caregivers' heads.

Thanks to the Special Surveillance Brigade, over 200 traps and hunting cartridges were removed from the forest in 2023, preventing the destruction of dozens of wild animals.

Beaten, shot multiple times and with broken legs, he arrived terrified at the Yapo-Abbé camp. After extensive rehabilitation work, he no longer goes out into the bush and continues his rehabilitation at the rescue centre.

This is the story of Wilfrid, a former hunter turned wild chimpanzee protector. After awareness work, he became a spokesperson for the cause in villages to denounce poaching.
