The Ape Project

The Ape Project is an initiative focused on the ethical treatment and conservation of great apes—such as chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, and orangutans. It advocates for ending activities like illegal poaching, habitat destruction, and the use of apes in entertainment or research, promoting their well-being and rights. The project also emphasizes scientific research respecting ape intelligence and social complexity. By raising awareness and supporting policies, the Ape Project aims to protect these intelligent primates from extinction and ensure they are treated with dignity and respect.
