STORYLINE:
A hundred and nine chimpanzees and 107 monkeys are now safe and sound in a sanctuary caring for the orphaned primates that fell victim to poaching and wildlife trade in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
Every chimpanzee resident here in the Lwiro Primate Rehabilitation Center, known by its French acronym as CRPL, a refuge in the eastern DRC, was brutally taken away from their forest home by poachers.
Peace has been a precious thing here, as the endangered species have been traumatized by both poaching and armed conflicts.
Itongwa Luc is a veteran caregiver in the center
