Situated in the south of the country, the Faunal Reserve of Conkouati (144 000 ha) hosts, since 1991, a sanctuary for orphan chimpanzees managed by the H.E.L.P. Project (« Habitat Ecologique et Liberté des Primates ») and Mrs Alielle Jamart. She had created a nursery in Pointe-Noire, in 1989, which has been moved two years later in Conkouati Laguna, where the government allocated three islands to the association, now recognized as an N.G.O. During our stay (February to July 1996), the project took charge of 44 chimpanzees and a few other primates. Most ot them (31) were ranging half- freely on the islands, the last 13 forming the new nursery. Though not self-sufficient, these animals are well-readapted to their natural environment. The purpose of this project is to protect chimps and help them to return to a wild habitat. An adequate zone (The Triangle) has been delimited to try a release of some individuals, under scientific and veterinary monitoring. At present, there have been two « positive » attempts, but more time is needed to claim these are really successful.

Un nombre croissant d'animaux - la majorité d'entre eux sont victimes indirectes du commerce de viande de brousse, surtout en Afrique - sont pris en charge par ces sanctuaires, qui tentent de répondre au trafic illégal d'animaux vivants et à l'application des lois locales en matière de primates, en offrant à ces animaux soins, abri et des conditions de vie appropriées. Plusieurs centaines de chimpanzés, gorilles, bonobos et orangs-outans sont répartis, respectivement entre 17 sanctuaires de l3 pays africains et 6 centres en Indonésie et Malaisie. Ce « phénomène sanctuaire » soulève de nombreuses interrogations à la fois éthiques, pratiques et théoriques sur la gestion d'un centre de réhabilitation et met en évidence les enjeux d'un engagement dans un tel processus de prise en charge à long-terme. Depuis l'année 2000, plusieurs séminaires internationaux traitant de ces interrogations ont été organisés dans l'espoir d'aider à la protection et la conservation des grands singes à travers le monde. The last decades had seen the creation in Africa and in Asia of several halfway houses, taking care of orphaned apes. A growing number of animals - most of them being by-products of the lucrative bushmeat trade, especially in Africa - are looked after in these sanctuaries, which tend to respond to the illegal traffic of live animals and to the enforcement of local low regarding primates, by offering appropriate care and living conditions. Hundreds of chimpanzees, gorillas, bonobos and orang-utans are known to be housed in l7 sanctuaries based in 13 African countries and 6 centres in Indonesia and Malaysia. This « sanctuary phenomenon » raises a lot of questions : ethical, practical and theoretical about the management of such rehabilitation centre and points up the stakes of engaging in this kind of long term nursing and rehabilitation process. Since 2000, several international workshops on these issues have been organized, in the hope of improving protection and conservation of great apes worldwide.
