At World Animal Protection, we are a global organisation dedicated to ending the exploitation of animals. For over 75 years, we have been at the forefront of animal welfare, exposing cruel systems, promoting animal-friendly alternatives, and influencing policy change. We aim to create a world where animals live free from cruelty and suffering.
Our Approach
Animal-Centric Focus: Animals are sentient beings capable of feeling pain, fear, and joy. This belief drives all our actions and initiatives.
Global Advocacy: We work tirelessly to move animal welfare up the global agenda, ensuring that the rights of animals are recognised and respected worldwide.
Systemic Change: By addressing the root causes of animal suffering, we aim to transform the broken systems that lead to exploitation, benefiting animals, people, and our shared planet.
Outside Shreveport, Louisiana, on 200 acres of beautiful, forested sanctuary, more than 300 chimpanzees, most of whom were used in biomedical research, are living the good life — or, as we like to call it, the Chimp Life.
At Chimp Haven, chimps retired from research experience the joys they would have enjoyed in the wild: climbing trees, living in large, bonded social groups, eating their favorite fruits, running, playing, exploring, and — best of all — choosing how they spend their days.
We believe we’re not that different, humans and chimpanzees. As our closest living relatives, chimps share more than 98 percent of our genetic blueprint, and upon visiting the sanctuary it doesn’t take long to see that they have all the personalities, emotions, relationships, dramas and joys that we do.
We believe they all deserve a chance to live the Chimp Life. That’s why we’re working diligently to transport all remaining chimpanzees to the sanctuary as soon as possible and embarking on an ambitious sanctuary expansion to ensure there is room to welcome them all home.
On behalf of the more than 300 chimps currently enjoying retirement at Chimp Haven, and the many more to come, thank you for your support!
Wildlife SOS, since it’s inception in 1995, has launched various initiatives to protect India’s endangered animals as well as their natural habitat; including anti-poaching activity, rescue and rehabilitation facilities and in-situ habitat conservation.
