Save the Chimps Wish List
Providing daily care for over 200 chimpanzees in 12 large, vibrant family groups spread over 150 acres is a big job!
In order to ensure the health and safety of our resident chimpanzees we follow strict guidelines when it comes to the food and enrichment we give to the chimps. In fact, each chimp has their own diet and medical needs with their own individualized care plan. The good news is our care staff has made it easy for you to contribute to the daily care and enrichment of our resident chimpanzees through our Amazon.com Wish List.
If you or your group wants to put together a care package or if you have bulk items you’d like to give our resident chimps, please refer to the list below of some of the chimps’ most needed and loved items. Thank you for your support!
