WELCOME TO CHIMPANZEE SANCTUARY NORTHWEST
Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest (CSNW) provides lifetime quality care for formerly abused or exploited chimpanzees, while advocating for great apes through education and collaboration. We envision a future in which primates are no longer owned as pets, or exploited for entertainment and biomedical research, and where free-living non-human primate populations thrive.
We have great news! The Buckshire Seven will be leaving the lab on June 9th or 10th to begin a three-day journey to Cle Elum. We've added a countdown clock to our web site so you can keep track of the date of their arrival.
Thanks to everyone for all of your hard work and dedication to the chimpanzees. The day we have been waiting for and working so hard for is almost here!
Keith & company are still busy finishing the first chimp house on the property. And now that we have a definite date for the arrival of the Buckshire Seven, he could use your help now more than ever! You don't have to be experienced with construction to lend a hand--just contact the volunteer coordinator to find out when the next work party is scheduled, fill out an application, and get ready to roll up your sleeves.
Other news of note:
- CSNW caregivers have been visiting the chimpanzees at Buckshire and have posted some of their experiences on the CSNW blog. Be sure to check back for updates!
- We are currently raising funds to enhance the future outdoor area for the chimpanzees - your donation will help provide Annie, Foxie, Negra, Jody, Burrito, Missy, and Jamie with climbing structures, rope swings, fire hose hammocks, and other enrichment. The chimpanzees have been without access to the outdoors for decades, some for their entire lives, so please help make their outdoor area a place they can't get enough of.
- We also have some very special events coming up. Please check them out and mark your calendars!
- Check out our photo album to see how we got to this point! We now have some photos of the interior of the chimp house.
CSNW helps you advocate for great apes through our Primate Patrol program. To learn more and to get involved, please visit the Primate Patrol web site.
Thank you to all of you who have made this sanctuary possible. CSNW is a non-profit organization and relies solely on donations to carry out its work. If you have not already, please consider supporting our life-affirming work by making a donation today.
