NEW OUTDOOR ENCLOSURES
One of our most extensive projects is the construction of new outdoor enclosures including a feeding cage and fencing to accommodate more chimpanzees.
A NEW HANDLING FACILITY
We urgently need to expand the handling facility for our chimps at enclosure no. 2 to ensure equal feeding & veterinary attention of each chimp within our biggest group.
