One hundred years of invasive experiments on chimpanzees used in biomedical research came to an end in 2015 when the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service designated captive chimps as endangered.

These chimps did something for humans because we made them do it. So it's time that we generously give back to them. -Ali Crumpacker, Project Chimps Executive Director
