The conservancy statement continued: "Whilst the chimpanzees were in a separate room from Baran, there was a small section in the wall with grilles between them.
"She was at the primary stage of integration in a facility where she could see the other chimpanzees from a distance, but with no physical contact."ĭuring this stage, which the charity says is necessary to help the chimps familiarize themselves with one another until a bond is formed to enable the next stage of integration, Baran breached security and encountered the other chimps. "Baran had successfully completed her quarantine period since her arrival at the sanctuary and had been moved from quarantine to the main chimpanzee house where she was in the process of being integrated with the other chimpanzees," Ol Pejeta Conservancy wrote. During this period she will have had access to round-the-clock veterinary care, because the rescued chimps who arrive at Sweetwater generally need to be nursed back to health. The transfer to the Kenyan sanctuary was the result of months of collaboration between Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Eram Zoo, the Kenya Wildlife Service, Iranian embassy officials and other animal welfare organizations.įollowing the transfer, Baran was quarantined for 90 days, as required by the Kenya Wildlife Service.
