Save the Chimps, Inc

Save the Chimps is one of the largest chimpanzee sanctuaries in the world whose mission is to provide refuge and exemplary care to chimpanzees in need. We offer life-long care for chimpanzees rescued from research laboratories, the pet trade, and the entertainment industry.

The chimps live in large family groups on 12 separate 3-acre islands. Most of our residents lived alone in small confined cages for decades. The islands give the chimps choices and control over their own lives, something many of our residents had never experienced. An enriched outdoor environment allows the chimps to roam, visit with friends, bask in the sun, or curl up in the shade. These freedoms provide them with the dignified and peaceful retirement they have always deserved.

The average annual cost for one of our residents is $25,000. Your support helps provide quality care to our beloved chimpanzee residents, including fresh and nutritious meals, exceptional veterinary care, innovative enrichment, and the social companionship necessary for the chimps to live happy and full lives.
