Toto and Jambi are two orangutans living at Chapultepec Zoo, in Mexico City. Animal welfare organizations and GAP Mexico have denounced the situation and conditions of life in which these orangutans are, without access to sunlight and in depressive state.

A petition with 6,500 signatures, collected in two weeks, led to the Mexican environmental authorities asked that the two primates are transferred to GAP Sanctuary in Sorocaba – SP, Brazil, where  they can be rehabilitated and treated of the behavioral diseases they suffer.

GAP Project Director in Mexico, Paulina Bermudez Landa, reported that the “the captive of the orangutans in the zoo is totally meaningless, because it has nothing to do with the conservation of the species, but is a matter of exhibiting them.”

GAP Director in Mexico also believes that we should all work together for animal welfare and that this is not a fight between environmental organizations and Mexico City Zoo, which is 30 years old.
