Petition: 32 Chimpanzees Stranded and in Desperate Need of Shelter!

December 24, 2020


The animals need care and four organizations have stepped up to help them. The partnering sanctuaries include Chimp Haven in Louisiana,  Sanctuary Northwest in Washington, Center for Great Apes in Florida, and Primarily Primates in Texas.

Any donation goes to supporting the Waystation chimpanzees and to support their ongoing care and living spaces. “The chimpanzees who are left at the closed Wildlife Waystation are in desperate need of rehoming,” renowned primatologist Dr.  said in an emailed statement. “We have reputable sanctuaries that are able to care for them, but need funding to build new enclosures.

On behalf of these chimpanzees who may live many more years, please help by supporting this emergency rescue effort.”

A $250,000 matching grant was awarded recently to Chimpanzees in Need to help these animals. If you’d like to help, visit www.primatesanctuaries.org/-in-need. Sanctuaries are home to chimpanzees rescued from terrible situations.

These poor chimpanzees suffer so much physically and mentally and this  must be better regulated. The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) is supposed to be regulating global wildlife trading in order to protect animals that are part of endangered species.

Sign this petition to ask CITES to do their job and protect chimpanzees!

What you can do

Support ‘Fighting for Wildlife’ by donating as little as $1 – It only takes a minute. Thank you.

 

 

Fighting for Wildlife supports approved wildlife conservation organizations, which spend at least 80 percent of the money they raise on actual fieldwork, rather than administration and fundraising. When making a donation you can designate for which type of initiative it should be used – wildlife, oceans, forests or climate.
