Saving the Chimpanzees In Need

WE DID IT!

The final 10 of 40 chimpanzees were just relocated from a closed animal refuge. Our work isn't over yet, though...

We need your help now to fund one year of chimpanzee care at their new accredited sanctuary homes. Can we count on you to chip in towards this effort?

Retire Your Primate

Are you seeking sanctuary placement for a primate?

NAPSA member sanctuaries are located throughout North America and provide lifetime care for monkeys and apes retired from entertainment, laboratory research, and private ownership.

Advocacy

Since its inception, NAPSA has remained committed to using the united voice of its members to defend and enhance the welfare of captive primates. NAPSA has developed Position Statements and Educational Resources on a growing number of topics relevant to primate exploitation and primate welfare in the hopes of initiating and supporting change.

Workshops

NAPSA Workshop 2023 will take place in May in Atlanta, with the theme #CaregiverStrong. We look forward to once again uniting and educating the primate sanctuary community.

Ticket sales are now open!
