Chimpanzee caregiver Jill Mullen has the best job ever – creating fun and enriching activities for former research chimps at the Project Chimps sanctuary.

Enrichment is a vital to creating a stimulating environment for the chimps who, after years in research labs, will spend the rest of their lives at the sanctuary. Enrichment can include new foods, smells and toys, and activities that provide the chimps with opportunities to forage, learn and play as they would in the wild.
