Today we celebrate the first International Drill Day - #dayofthedrill

We celebrate this by offering a fruitcake to the great apes living at Parken Zoo, you can see the film here

The drill is classified as critically endangered by the IUCN, and it is estimated that there are fewer than 3000 individuals left in the wild. The individuals living in the wild are divided into many smaller groups that are not close to each other due to habitat loss and habitat fragmentation. They are only found in Nigeria, Cameroon and on an island called Bioko belonging to Equatorial Guinea.
Parken Zoo is a member of ”Save the Drill”, the main purpose of which is to support Pandrillus” projects in Nigeria (Afi Moutain and Calbar) and Cameroon. If you would like to join us in supporting this important work, you can swish to 123 083 82 35 and mark your contribution with ”save the drill". The contributions received will be sent to the work taking place in Nigeria and Cameroon.
You can read more about drill on our website and from 16 May, you can come and visit the drills at Parken Zoo.
We also highly recommend the film ”Island of the great apes” which can be viewed until 30 May 2020.
