Anthony EsangThis is the Drill Rehab and Breeding Centre, otherwise called Drill Ranch in Calabar, Cross River State, the drill monkey and other animals are given a habitat to make sure they don’t go extinct in an artificial forest in a quiet neighbourhood in the heart of Calabar. In this make-believe habitat for endangered species of animals are Tropical Rainforest Drill Monkeys, Chimpanzees and a handful of other smaller, crawling animals and assorted birds. In this ranch, there is a bungalow which serves as an administrative block for the several White volunteers, some of them from Canada. There is also a forest Land Rover jeep with an American flag hoisted on it, to show its American influence. Much human activity is not pronounced except for the stream of visitors who come singly, in twos and in groups every now and again from distant places. There are drill groups, each in their own electric fenced enclosure, powered by solar energy systems. The enclosures can be reached down different winding paths through the forest; the largest enclosure perimeter is nearly a kilometer around. The Drill Ranch also provides a lifelong home for orphan chimpanzees, and the busy chimpanzee group can be seen in their forest enclosure. Chimpanzees can be excitable and great care must be taken near their enclosure: all visitors are accompanied by a staff member when visiting the chimpanzees and comply with their instructions for their own security and that of the animals.
