Mammalsthis goal. However, the confirmed deaths of two out of three animals releasedduring the hard release stage of the project demonstrate that in some casesrehabilitant orangutans are unable to survive without post-release support.Periodic weight loss displayed by others when not regularly supplemented alsoraises preliminary questions over both the suitability of the release site, andthe current rehabilitation protocols in use in Sabah. In contrast, the carriageand subsequent birth of a healthy baby from a released rehabilitant mother isencouraging. It remains unclear how well prepared many orphaned orangutans are forthriving in a natural forest. Learning from similarly aged conspecifics or fromhuman care givers is no substitute for an extensive mother/offspring learningperiod as experienced by undisturbed wild infants and juveniles.ReferencesAncrenaz, M., Gimenez, O., Ambu, L., Ancrenaz, K., Andau, P., et al.

All four known subspecies of chimpanzee (Eastern: P. t.schweinfurthii; Central: P. t. troglodytes; Nigeria-Cameroon: P. t. ellioti; Western:P.t. verus) are classified as Endangered (IUCN 2008) and listed on Appendix I ofCITES. Although current total population estimates are imprecise, the secondmost threatened subspecies after P. t. ellioti is the Western subspecies (P. t.verus) with 21,300 - 55,600 individuals and c.50% found in Guinea (Kormos et al.,2003). Unfortunately, the majority of chimpanzees in Guinea are found outsideprotected areas. The bushmeat and pet trade, as well as the exacerbation ofhuman-chimpanzee conflict situations, have resulted in recent years in asignificant increase in the number of orphan chimpanzees. The ChimpanzeeConservation Center (CCC), located in the north-western edge of the Mafou corearea of the High NigerNational Park (HNNP), isthe only Pan AfricanSanctuary Alliance(PASA)-accreditedsanctuary caring forchimpanzee orphans inGuinea.
