World Chimpanzee Day 2025

This World Chimpanzee Day, we’re shining a light on the harsh reality many captive chimps face.

In Thailand and beyond, countless chimps endure lives of boredom, loneliness, and stress in tiny barren cages – far from the complex, social, forested worlds they deserve.

We’re working to raise awareness and advocate for a future where chimps are respected as the intelligent, emotional beings they are – not mere exhibits to be observed through bars.
