sanctuary in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Georgia for former research lab chimpanzees. projectchimps.org
Sadly, we've said goodbye to Jamie.
After 29 years in labs, Jamie arrived in sanctuary in August 2018. She was a lover of squash & fresh pumpkin.
She was diagnosed w/ chronic kidney disease in 2020 & had been receiving ongoing treatment since.

Rest in Peace, Dr. Goodall.
Jane changed the way the world understands chimpanzees and she inspired millions, including many of our team members, to take up the cause to work with, and for, chimps. Our hearts go out to the many lives she touched and the legacy for chimps that she leaves behind.
If you're in the Blairsville, Georgia area, JOIN US anytime between 4-7pm TODAY at Grandaddy Mimm's for CHEERS FOR CHIMPS!
Every ticket gets you some glassware, a free pour and a chimp coaster. All proceeds go to the sanctuary of 101 former research lab chimpanzees!
Good morning from Morganton, Georgia!

❄️❄️ SNOW DAYS!!! ❄️❄️
The safety of the chimpanzees and our staff are our top priority. At the advice and guidance of local leadership due to the Winter Weather Watch in effect, Project Chimps is closed Friday and Saturday for all tours, activities and events. This includes the hiking trails.
It seems appropriate, given this platform's name, that we christen our Bluesky account by acknowledging the 95 chimpanzees (like Loretta here) who were once in a research lab environment but now get to see the real blue sky every day in sanctuary. We couldn't be happier for them.
