IVORY COAST
A report sent by Serge Soiret, representative of GAP Project in Ivory Coast, informs that two chimpanzees of a 12 members group that used to live in the zoo of the capital, Abidjan, starved to death in the last few weeks due to the civil war that destroyed the country and that now is over.
Bellow there is a balance of the species and individuals who lived in the zoo on March 2011 and the ones that survived through the period of civil war in the country.
