The world’s foremost expert on chimpanzees is Dr. Jane Goodall. Since 1977, The Jane Goodall Institute, an international wildlife, and environmental conservation organization, has been striving to save chimpanzees from extinction. Below is the story of one chimpanzee whose life was saved by this amazing organization.

Since Wounda had recovered, it was time for her to go back home into the wild. Saying goodbye is never easy. Wounda was loaded into a crate for her journey home.
