Ebola On The Ground: The Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary

Part two of Okayafrica and Ebola Deeply’s Ebola On The Ground video series looks at the economic effects of one of Sierra Leone's biggest tourist attractions, the Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary. Bala Amarasekaran, the Sanctuary’s founder and program director, fears that the economic damage will not be quickly turned around, “it took us ten years to wipe out the rebel war image, now it is Ebola, it will take us another ten years, so that means this is going to have a tremendous impact on tourism.” Videography / editing: Lance Steagall, (Collabo! http://collabonyc.com/) Music by Sorie Kondi Produced by Vanessa Wruble for Okayafrica Okayafrica http://www.okayafrica.com   / okayafrica     / okayafrica   Okayplayer http://www.okayplayer.com   / okayplayer     / okayplayer
