September 8: Saving the Chimps of the Budongo Forest
Join Oakland Zoo, and award-winning wildlife hero, Dr. Caroline Asiimwe, Wildlife Veterinarian and Educator at the Budongo Snare Removal Project LIVE from Uganda. This dynamic effort addresses the challenging issue of chimps getting caught in snares set by poachers using solutions that respect the needs of the local community. Oakland Zoo is so excited to share this project which has been part of our conservation history for over 20 years.
We are pleased to feature a signature cocktail from Ale Industries in Oakland so we can imbibe while being inspired!
