Learn about the plight of chimpanzees and other primates and hear stories that illustrate the big personalities, intelligence, and resiliency of the sanctuary residents. Find out from a behind-the-scenes perspective what it takes to care for chimpanzees in captivity and what the future may hold for them and others like them.
