Trophée de femmes
On February 28th 2007, the Yves Rocher environmental foundation attributed its "Trophée de femmes" for the first time also in Switzerland. Hedwige Boesch, with her project for increased protection of the last remaining chimpanzee populations and the tropical rain forest, received the second prize. She offered the 5'000.00 FCH for projects of the "Wild Chimpanzee Foundation"
The "Zürcher Tierschutz" celebrated its 150the anniversary in October 2006!
On Friday 27th of October, after the performance of Janacek's "Das schlaue Füchslein" at the Zurich Opera, the "Zürcher Tierschutz" has invited to a Charity-Dinner on stage in favour of the declining populations of wild chimpanzees in tropical Africa.
Primatologists and founding members of the Wild Chimpanzee Foundation (WCF) Christophe and Hedwige Boesch were invited guests to this event.
"We are thrilled about this fabulous Charity-Dinner in favor of chimpanzees and honored to be able to speak on the dramatic situation of Great Apes during the dinner and again on Saturday October 28th at 7h30 pm, in a tent in front of the Opera House" said Hedwige Boesch (photo on top), managing director of the WCF.
In February 2007, the fabulous result of SFR 30'000 has been credited to the WCF and the whole WCF directory board sends heartful thanks to the Zürcher Tierschutz.
