Mitsubishi is once again teaming up with Chimpanzee Eden, a wildlife project aimed at helping to save one of our most endangered species. Five Mitsubishi Triton 4x4s will be donated for use by the people who run the project.
The Eden sanctuary is based at the Umhloti Game Reserve which is not far from the Mpumalanga city of Nelspruit. There the animals are saved and rehabilitated from abuse situations and then released back into the wild.
Chimpanzees are native to the Congo forests. At some point they numbered millions but now, thanks to the cutting down of forests and them being hunted for meat, these numbers have been greatly reduced.
The Triton has proven itself to be quite a tough customer in extreme African conditions.
"We are pleased that once again we can provide meaningful assistance by the courtesy use of our Tritons and Pajeros,” says Mitsubishi SA boss Suraiya Naidoo. “ As tough, robust, go-anywhere 4X4 vehicles, the Mitsubishis have proven that they are ideally suited to rugged activities in harsh environments.”
