From a trafficking victim to a conservation success story.⁣ ⁣ Rescued in Nigeria in 2023, Bili spent three years recovering before DNA tests helped trace her roots to the Republic of Congo.⁣ ⁣ Her journey home is a rare piece of good news in the fight against wildlife trafficking.⁣ ⁣ Swipe to read more. 🦍 03 Oct 2026

Meet the newest face at JGI's Tchimpounga sanctuary: Bili the gorilla! 🦍 Like so many of our residents at Tchimpounga, Bili's life in the wild was disrupted by the illegal wildlife trade. She was first rescued in Nigeria and brought to Pandrillus for care at Drill Ranch — an internationally-accredited primate sanctuary specializing in drill monkeys. 🐒🌿 But western lowland gorillas like Bili are social animals, and they are not native to Nigeria. The Pandrillus team knew that JGI's Tchimpounga sanctuary is also home to a young gorilla named Mozambique (ZZ for short), rescued in 2024. The opportunity was too great to miss, so several teams joined forces to organize a transfer from Drill Ranch to Tchimpounga. 🇳🇬✈️🇨🇬 Bili’s arrival at Tchimpounga marks a new chapter, where she will receive care from our team of experts in a near-natural environment that meets her physical, mental, and emotional needs. The long-term aim is to eventually integrate Bili into the long-running gorilla reintroduction program in the Lesio-Louna Gorilla Reserve, implemented by the Ministry of Forest Economy in Congo and The Aspinall Foundation. 🌳✨ Thank you to the Nigerian government, the government of the Republic of the Congo, @focused.conservation, @theaspinallfoundation, @pandrillus, @unitedforwildlife, and @dhl_global for making this story possible. 💚 Read the full press release — LINK IN BIO 📸: Fernando Turmo.

Chimpanzee of the week - Ndolo Ndolo was orphaned by illegal bushmeat hunters in Cameroon as a year old infant. Sold to wildlife traders, she was bundled off to Nigeria over land and sea together with an infant male. In Calabar, the Cross River State capital, a concerned citizen who had visited Drill Ranch and learned about the the region’s imperiled wildlife spotted the 2 infants tied up on a heap of luggage in the De Young Motor Park about to be loaded as cargo onto a bus bound for Lagos. He rushed to Drill Ranch to alert us! After a quick call, Pandrillus’ partner, the Cross River Forestry Commission, arrived on the scene to meet us and confronted the well-dressed Cameroonian couple who already had a buyer in Lagos. The two infants, Ndolo and Balinga, were confiscated, narrowly avoiding the journey of over 700km in the cargo bay that would have likely killed them. After thriving in the Drill Ranch Calabar chimpanzee nursery, Ndolo and Balinga transferred in 2007 to Drill Ranch Afi to join the big group. Now 25 years old, Ndolo has matured and flourished with her group of 23 Nigeria-Cameroon chimpanzees in their natural habitat forested enclosure at the foot of Afi Mountain. Ndolo is independent, but sociable. Quirky, but a great group member with a very positive attitude and sense of humor. Of all the Drill Ranch chimpanzees, she most enjoys walking erect on 2 legs and carrying things on her head. Today, we celebrate the 24th anniversary of Ndolo’s recovery. All thanks to concerned citizens of Nigeria and the Cross River State Forestry Commission! #chimpanzee #conservation #wildlife #sanctuary #primates 22 Apr 2026

New rescue and release! Yesterday morning, a local farmer brought this beautiful Black-bellied Pangolin, Phataginus tetradactyla, to the sanctuary, hoping that we could check her health and provide advice. This is, sadly, a very common occurrence. According to UNODC, pangolins are the most trafficked mammal in the world, with illegal cargo usually originating in Africa and bound for Asian markets, where their scales are used medicinally. All the pangolin species found in Nigeria, including the Black and White-bellied and the Giant Ground Pangolins, are additionally under threat due to their high demand as bushmeat. In the wild, the Black-bellied Pangolin is a diurnal and arboreal species, typically found in habitats dominated by palms and feeding on ants and termites. Our young female was lucky. After receiving a clean bill of health from our vet, we were able to release her into a safe area of natural habitat. Head to the link in bio if you want to support our rescue efforts! #pangolin #rescue #conservation #wildlife #trafficking 18 Apr 2026

New species alert! Today, we’d like to introduce you to another species that we care for at Drill Ranch, the African Grey Parrot, Psittacus erithacus. In the wild, these beautiful and smart birds range from Côte d’Ivoire to Kenya, typically in dense forests, forming big roosts, eating fruits and seeds, and nesting in trees. Unfortunately, they are also considered an endangered species and their numbers are rapidly decreasing due to wildlife trafficking. Their colorful feathers and unparalleled ability to mimic human speech makes them one of the most popular avian pets in Europe, the United States and the Middle East. And their hunting methods are particularly cruel, with hunters usually employing glue to trap them to then cut all their feathers, which can take from 6 months up to 2 years to grow back. At Pandrillus, we are currently overseeing the rehabilitation of 95 African Grey Parrots, 15 recently confiscated, who will hopefully be ready soon for their release back into the wild. We’d like to take the chance to send a big thank you to @world_parrot_trust for their invaluable support in their recovery and care! #africangreyparrot #bird #rescue #conservation #wildlifetrafficking 16 Apr 2026

Did you know that female drills can play a pivotal role in deciding who the next dominant male is? While strength does factor in to a small extent, a successful dominant male must have a social backing, specifically from the females. The female drills will watch the contest closely and may even influence it by joining one side or by standing in the middle of the fight to prevent the contest from happening (if they are happy with the current leader). Follow for more drill facts! #drill #wildlife #sanctuary #whoruntheworld #conservation 15 Apr 2026

Chimp of the Week - Pablo🥥 Pablo’s story is one of resilience in the face of adversity. In 1991, he was brought to the Cross River State Forestry Department by a man who hoped to sell him for the zoo, and who claimed he had brought baby Pablo all the way from Equatorial Guinea by canoe, under the sun. We will never know if this actually happened, but Pablo was burning up and dehydrated when he arrived in Pandrillus’ care. Even though he recovered, it’s suspected that the high fever caused brain damage and a permanent handicap, as he is only able to use one side of his body properly. Despite this difficulty, and now 36 years old, Pablo is funny, calm, curious and a peacemaker for his fellow chimps. He lives a normal life in our chimp enclosure, making ground nests every evening, surrounded by the group. An absolute favourite of keepers and visitors alike, Pablo is our only other chimp belonging to a different subspecies, Central Chimpanzee or Pan troglodytes troglodytes. #chimpanzee #conservation #rescue #coconut #greatape 13 Apr 2026

Drill children are similar to human children. Playing and social activity is also essential to their growth. For primates it is a tool for social bonding, developing essential motor skills, and learning complex social behaviors. #drill #conservation #wildlife #play #sanctuary 09 Apr 2026

Yesterday was a sad day at Drill Ranch. We found several native Ebony trees illegally cut down within our boundaries, by “Ebony hunters”. The West African Ebony is a slow-growing fruit-bearing tree that can live for more than 200 years. Left standing, these trees are an essential part of the rainforest ecosystem, producing highly nutritious fruit, as well as shade, essential for rainforest growth. Due to their black core, their wood is highly sought after, often for luxury decorative items, wood carvings and sculptures. As a result, they are considered a vulnerable species by the IUCN. Imagine living 200 years only to be cut down and made into a trinket for someone’s living room. While we can’t change what has been done, we can still work to protect and restore the rainforest, decreasing at a rapid pace every day. If you’d like to help us, head to the link in bio and donate to help Pandrillus build a tree nursery to grow new ebony trees and other native species and replant them to keep the rainforest alive. #deforestation #ebony #rainforest #conservation #sanctuary 08 Apr 2026

Chimp of the week - SELI 🥭 Seli is one of the two chimpanzees at Drill Ranch who belong to a different subspecies, in this case Western Chimpanzee (pan troglodytes verus), and has an international backstory. She arrived in Nigeria as a baby in 2001 with ECOWAS soldiers returning from Sierra Leone, and was later confiscated by the Nigerian Police Force in Lagos. She was handed over to the Nigerian Conservation Foundation, through whom she found her home with Pandrillus at Drill Ranch. Seli is a 28-year-old, strong, independent chimp. Her personality and size, bigger than that of the Nigeria-Cameroon chimpanzee subspecies, makes her high-ranking, and dominating over the other females in the group 💪🏼 However, she still has a sworn enemy, she absolutely despises water and baths! 🫧 #chimpanzee #rescue #conservation #greatape #sanctuary 06 Apr 2026

Drill’s True Colors Have you noticed adult male drills’ rears being really colorful? These colors not only serve the purpose of differentiating males from females, but are also brighter in dominant males. In primates, the red color is correlated with testosterone levels, and it also serves to attract the females. Different color patterns help drills recognize both members of their group and rivals, as well as follow the dominant male through the rainforest. #drill #conservation #primates #wildlife #sanctuary 04 Apr 2026
