North American Primate Sanctuary Alliance
OUR MISSION
NAPSA unites the primate sanctuary community, builds capacity to provide sanctuary for captive nonhuman primates, and advocates to eliminate primate exploitation.


Chimpanzees In Need
18 chimpanzees still need relocation from a closed rescue facility. NAPSA has found them new homes at sanctuaries, some of whom have already begun welcoming in these needy chimps!
We need your help now to pay for the chimpanzees’ current care and the new housing being built. 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 2020, which was set to take place in June 2020 in San Diego, was regretfully cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. When it is safe to do so, we look forward to uniting the primate sanctuary community at our next event.
