The chimps went BANANAS for their party this morning! 🍌We have Chimp-A-Palooza every year in honor of World Chimp Day which celebrates chimpanzees and aims to raise awareness about the threats they face in the wild.
There are many threats to chimpanzee populations, one of them being disease. Because chimps are our closest living relatives, they can contract any illness humans can. Ebola outbreaks have killed tens of thousands of great apes including chimpanzees.
Poaching is another prominent threat to the species. In addition to being hunted for food, infant chimpanzees are also taken from the wild to be sold as pets. Chimpanzees should never be kept as pets as it becomes increasingly dangerous as they age, and it causes a lot of behavioral abnormalities to form in the animal.
When you support facilities that house and participate in chimpanzee breeding programs you are supporting the conservation of these amazing animals. Part of the proceeds from our event today will be donated to Chimpanzee SAFE, an organization who works with both Zoological facilities and chimpanzee wild conservation sites to protect wild chimpanzees as well as educate the general public and raise awareness. 💙
