Tim Phillips share: Animal Defenders Internationals album: The Toto Rescue Gallery. Toto was saved 11 years ago today! Jan and I were at the CITES COP in Santiago, Chile, when we went to visit a small circus on the outskirts of town. Toto the chimpanzee was living in a packing crate and being forced to smoke cigarettes. Before the show he climbed up on top of the wagon, the wind ruffled his hair and he gazed at the Andes. Jan took this great photo. The circus fled when legal proceedings began to save him, but we tracked them down a few months later, trailed them and then seized Toto. Then in our most epic relocation we took him all the way home to Zambia and reunited him with his own kind after over 20 years alone and almost a quarter of a century after he was snatched from the wild. Today he lives with a family of chimps. Raise a glass in the direction of Zambia!
