Chimpanzees are incredibly close to us.
They live in complex social groups, form lifelong bonds, and experience emotions in ways that are deeply familiar — trust, fear, grief, connection.
This is exactly what makes wildlife trafficking so devastating.
What we see through Mission Caita is not just the removal of animals from the wild. It is the destruction of entire social structures. Groups are broken apart. Individuals are taken out of everything they know. What remains are chimpanzees that have lost their place, their safety, and often their families.
Mission Caita exists because of this reality.
