ENVIRONEMENTAL ENRICHMENT
Whether it’s hanging fire hoses, tires, hammocks, or murals painted to resemble tropical rainforests, environmental enrichments are structures, items, and natural environments designed to enhance a chimpanzee’s habitat. These enrichments allow them to climb, play, and relax as they would in the wild.
What can you do to help?
It costs $3 per day to provide enrichment to each chimp. Make a contribution to the enrichment program here.

Our goal is to ensure each individual chimpanzee experiences the best quality of life and enjoys an enriching retirement at the sanctuary.
Won't You Help?
This project would not be possible without our many generous individual supporters and volunteers. We rely on donations to fulfill our mission, including caring for our existing residents and expanding the sanctuary to accommodate those chimpanzees still waiting in the lab.
