Many of the chimps that are taken to the sanctuary have been orphaned due to the abuse of man, and often arrive traumatized and ill. Through hard work and dedication, the staff assists the chimps in their rehabilitation and integration into one of the two groups within the reserve. The chimpanzees here can never be reintroduced into the wild and guests can 'adopt' one for a fee. The revenue collected goes back into the sanctuary to aid its ongoing operations.
