chimpanzee sanctuary

Primate protection facility

A chimpanzee sanctuary is a facility that provides lifelong care for chimpanzees rescued from research laboratories, the entertainment industry, or the exotic pet trade.

Unlike zoos, sanctuaries prioritize the animals' welfare over public display, offering natural habitats and social groups: The retired lab chimps were transferred to a chimpanzee sanctuary in Louisiana.
