  • About Us

    Lwiro Primates Rehabilitation Center (LPRC) was officially created in 2003 to provide a safe place for orphan primates, victims of the bushmeat and pet trade.

    Strategically situated only 4 km away from Kahuzi-Biega National Parc (KBNP) Lwiro is the ideal location for chimpanzee rehabilitation and local conservation education and outreach.

    LPRC currently houses a total of 129 chimpanzees, along with 113 monkeys representing 14 different species, in addition to a variety of other confiscated wildlife: grey parrots, a porcupine, and turtles. LPRC plays an essential role as a valuable resource for conservation.
