The dense forest of Tchindzoulou Island is now home to 14 chimpanzees transferred from the original Tchimpounga sanctuary site over the last six months. Life has changed dramatically for these chimps. Today, they can roam freely, feeling the wet earth under their feet, smelling the scents from the lush vegetation, and listening to the island’s mysterious sounds while they explore their new surroundings.
In May, Jane had the chance to see the bluebells in the Foret de Soignes in Brussels, Belgium. There for a “glorious” two days, she said that the area brought her back to her childhood in Bournemouth, England.
It’s my favorite time of the year—leaves are turning and it’s time for the Roots & Shoots North America Summit. I love our Summits because Roots & Shoots members know that giving back should be fun. More than just a conference, the yearly event is a celebration of the community impact that members have through their projects and volunteering.
