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 & the legacy she leaves behind.

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. projectchimps.org/chimpanzee/jam…

Twenty-five years ago, the hockey movie "MVP: Most Valuable Primate" — an "Air Bud" spinoff starring three chimpanzees — came out. I went down a rabbit hole to figure out what happened to the chimps. Their lives are much different now. nytimes.com/athletic/67751…
