Divine Touch by ApeArt
Last week I returned from Cameroon where I worked at a primate sanctuary – Limbe Wildlife Centre. Most of the animals are orphans and have been rescued from the illegal bushmeat and pet trades.
This was a very very special moment for me. When a female chimpanzee reached out to me and I took her hand. A very unique and wonderful and touching moment, one I will never forget. It also saddens me. She was in a cage in quarentine, separated from the rest of the chimps to protect her and her little baby and I guess to give them space before they rejoined the group. She had a sadness about her. She needed to be romping through the forest (a few miles every day) with her own kind, far away from human intervention, cruelty and selfishness…

this is a most precious gift and one you will never forget for sure .. I think that she wanted your companionship being all alone in there .. its heartbreaking to see them locked up.. as you know I know well with my shelter animals … but she is safe ..thats one good thing… my heart aches for all animals in cages :(
