Norbert Mushenzi and the rangers of Virunga National Park brave war and hunger in defense of Congo's rare primates Norbert Mushenzi stood in eerie silence near the ransacked buildings of Virunga National Park's district office at Djomba. From a grassy hilltop he looked west across a sweeping view of abandoned farmland and forest. Turning to the east, he faced the park boundary, an abrupt line of forest that rose in misty waves to the summits of the Virunga volcanoes, home to some of the world's last mountain gorillas. "Is anyone here?" he shouted. "It's Mushenzi! Answer me!"

Extractions: December 30, 2003 Not many organizations in the world can boast of a royal patron, and it is rare for an entity in South Carolina to be so honored. The International Primate Protection League of Summerville deservedly has such a longtime supporter. Prince Philip, husband of Queen Elizabeth II, sent his greetings on the 30th anniversary of the founding of the charity, which combats the illegal trafficking in primates, including monkeys, lemurs and apes, and operates a sanctuary for rescued animals. "I am delighted to have this opportunity to offer my warmest congratulations (to the League) and my special congratulations to its founder, Dr. Shirley McGreal," he writes. "The League can look back with much pride on its very considerable achievements ... most primate populations around the globe are in a better state thanks to its activities." The prince also commented on the bravery of Dr. McGreal and her supporters in challenging the illegal capture and trade in primates. "This is a very dangerous business and it takes real courage to collect evidence, track smugglers and bring illegal dealers to justice," he wrote. Dr. McGreal tells us that she has met Prince Philip, who is president emeritus of the World Wildlife Fund, many times at wildlife conferences.

Extractions: October 2001 Thanks to the ever-diligent and persistent efforts of the International Primate Protection League's Chairwoman, Dr. Shirley McGreal, the horrific deaths of two recently-smuggled infant apes a baby gorilla and a baby chimpanzee are not being forgotten! Resulting from IPPL's widely disseminated media advisory, appended below is a news article that was published in Nigeria's 'The Guardian' on 8 October 2001. It is too late to do anything to save these two individual baby apes, but it is crucial that we do all we can to prevent the same from happening to other individuals. Please note that there were several excellent primate sanctuaries and rehabilitation centers in Africa (including Limbe and Pandrillus) which would have happily accepted these two babies if only the Egyptian officials had bothered to make a phone call, the fate of the two little apes could have been entirely different.
