65 chimpanzees survived a terrible past in Liberia.
The survivors of the original 400 chimpanzees live on these 6 river islands.
They were used for scientific research, paid for by the New York Blood Centre (NYBC).
Today, the Humane Society International takes care of them.
Richard Ssuna looks after the chimps.
In the 1970's, the NYBC paid for the research into diseases, like hepatitis B.
For the chimpanzees, the tests weren't the only problem.
There was also a long war in Liberia.
There was little food and they almost died.
The scientists bought them food with their own money.
In 2015, the NYBC stopped supporting the research.
When Ebola started in Liberia, Citigroup, a US bank, supported the project.
Today, the NYBC is working with the Humane Society International to look after the chimpanzees.
Chimpanzees live for more than 60 years, but these chimps can't survive in the wild.
They'll require many years of care.
