Cool Animal Fact
Chimpanzees and humans have DNA that is 98% the same. Chimps are more closely related to humans than they are to orangutans.
How We Help Save Them
We save chimps in the wild by delivering support, training, and supplies for veterinarians in Africa that provide care for injured, wild chimps.
