| Dr. Jane Goodall opens Sweetwaters Information Centre |
| There couldn’t have been a more appropriate person to open the brand new Information Centre at Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary than renowned primatologist Dr. Jane Goodall. With a classic chimpanzee ‘pant hoot’ she cut the ribbon, opening a Centre which aims to raise awareness about the plight of chimpanzees in the wild. She was accompanied by Director General of the Kenya Wildlife Service, Mr. Kitili Mbathi.

| This collar might have saved her life |
| Earlier this month, Ol Pejeta partnered with veterinary doctors from the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) to successfully fit a VHF radio collar on a lioness. While she was under sedation, the vets noticed a deep gash on her front paw that would have been inhibiting her movement and causing a lot of pain. Thankfully, they were able to treat her.
