OUR MISSION

Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest provides lifetime quality care for formerly abused and exploited chimpanzees while advocating for great apes.

OUR VISION

We envision a world where chimpanzee sanctuaries are no longer needed.Sanctuaries are only necessary in a world where chimpanzees are exploited and then discarded. We envision a world where chimpanzees are not bred by humans to be used for entertainment or kept as pets, and where medical advancement is productive and successful without including experimentation on chimpanzees. We envision a world where chimpanzees are raised by their mothers and live freely with their families in their natural habitat. We envision a world where our closest genetic relatives are respected and honored and allowed to thrive and behave as they were born to. We envision a world where chimpanzees are allowed to be, simply, chimpanzees.

OUR GOALS

Our goals are to provide sustainable sanctuary, end the use of great apes in entertainment, and facilitate collaboration to continuously improve the care of captive chimpanzees.

“I had a vision...I believed that there was a need for more chimpanzee sanctuaries, and I had a sense of responsibility to take action.”

– Keith LaChappelle, Founder


The Cle Elum Seven

“When the chimpanzees arrived at csnw it was surreal...they were silent as we moved them into the chimp house one by one. Negra was in the back of the truck and was the last one to be unloaded. The moment Negra came through the door all of them were excited and pant hooted. Somehow they knew that they were all safe and together as a group.”

ANNIE, BORN 1974, POSSIBLY IN THE WILDIn addition to being used for hepatitis vaccine studies, Annie had five babies during her years in biomedical research, all of them taken from her and put into research themselves. Annie is a curious chimpanzee who allows others in the group to take leadership. At the sanctuary she enjoys eating fresh vegetables, especially green onions, which she will eat by the handful. Her favorite activity seems to be playing with her best friend Missy. Annie also enjoys lying down in the elaborate beds that she and Missy make. They often lie down near each other to nap.

BURRITO, BORN 1983 IN A LABORATORYBurrito is the youngest chimpanzee and the only male of the group of seven at csnw. Burrito was kept in a human home during his toddler years, was leased to an “animal act” for two years, then returned to a laboratory where he was used in hepatitis vaccine research. Like most male chimpanzees, Burrito has quite an impressive “display” -- he stands up bipedally and makes himself look large, then finds something to bang on as he runs around. The female chimpanzees get out of his way when he is displaying, and seem to be taking him more seriously now that his displays are amplified in the larger space of the sanctuary. Burrito cannot get enough of all of the food at the sanctuary – he is excited about everything that is offered to him.

FOXIE, BORN 1976 IN CAPTIVITYFoxie is very curious and watchful, and is careful and deliberate in her movements. She can take a little while to warm up to new people, but is quite playful once she has decided to trust a person. Of her chimpanzee family, she spends the most time with Burrito and Jody. She and Burrito can often be found quietly grooming each other. Prior to her sanctuary life, Foxie was used in hepatitis vaccine research and as a breeder for the biomedical research industry. Foxie had five babies during her years in biomedical research, including a set of twins. All of her children were taken away from her when they were very young - sometimes just days old. Foxie adopted a doll to care for at the sanctuary within a month of her arrival – a Troll Doll with bright pink hair. Foxie now has hundreds of dolls thanks to her supporters!

JAMIE, BORN 1977 IN CAPTIVITYJamie is extremely intelligent. She stays busy by using the toys and other objects that are provided at the sanctuary. She is very interested in what the humans are doing and monitors the window to the kitchen as meals are being prepared for the chimpanzees. Jamie can be a challenge to keep mentally

occupied, but it’s a challenge we gladly take on. It is difficult to imagine how she survived the years of boredom and fear in biomedical research. When she’s not trying to outwit her caregivers or creating projects for herself, she plays games of keep-away with Foxie’s Troll Dolls. These games can get rambunctious and usually result in wrestling and lots of laughter between the two.

JODY, BORN 1975, POSSIBLY IN THE WILDJody was used primarily for breeding during her years of use by the biomedical research industry, and had a total of nine babies during this time. In between her pregnancies, the industry managed to also use her in hepatitis vaccine research. Jody enthusiastically greets her sanctuary caregivers in the morning and likes to be gently groomed by them. She is thought to be the second in command next to Jamie, occasionally vying for the top position. Jody likes to make nests out of the blankets, sheets, clothes, and magazines that are provided to her at the sanctuary. In fact, she gathers as many of these as she can find and makes huge nests -- sometimes with fifteen or more blankets at a time.

MISSY, BORN 1975 IN CAPTIVITYMissy had four babies during her years as a biomedical research subject. She was also used for hepatitis vaccine research. Missy has such a playful spirit, it is easy to imagine her playing with her young children. Unfortunately, she never had the chance to do this as they were all taken from her when they were merely infants. At the sanctuary, she is making up for lost time and spends hours each day playing with enrichment objects, humans, and other chimpanzees. Missy likes to play games of tug-of-war with her human caregivers and chase with her chimpanzee companions. She and Annie are best friends and are often seen playing and relaxing together at the sanctuary.

NEGRA, BORN 1973 IN THE WILDNegra began her life in the forests of Africa and was captured there as an infant. The majority of her 30+ years have been spent in biomedical research laboratories. She was used in hepatitis vaccine research and as a “breeder.” She is a strong individual with a unique personality and has been called the queen of the Cle Elum Seven chimpanzees. Negra enjoys the sheets and blankets that are provided to her at the sanctuary and she has a nightly ritual of sitting up on a ledge and completely covering herself with a blanket. She stays like this for a few minutes, then peeks her face out so that the blanket is wrapped around her body and head like a hooded poncho.


Letter from the Board Chair

WE ARE A SMALL SANCTUARY WITH A BIG HEART.

In 2013, csnw celebrated its fifth anniversary of providing seven resilient chimpanzees a lifetime of sanctuary. The following pages tell the story of the chimpanzees’ journey while reflecting on the organization’s accomplishments and the lessons learned over the past five years.

csnw was founded in 2003 to provide sanctuary for chimpanzees discarded from the entertainment and biomedical testing industries. Recognizing the vast numbers of chimpanzees in need of rescue, and the unique talent pool of skilled primate experts in Washington state, a small but dedicated group of individuals committed themselves to starting a new sanctuary. A world-class facility was built just outside of Cle Elum, Washington, and seven individual chimpanzees were selected for rescue.

On June 13, 2008, csnw rescued Negra, Burrito, Foxie, Jamie, Jody, Missy, and Annie from a basement in a private biomedical facility in Pennsylvania. When they arrived they were unsure, anxious, frightened, and shells of themselves. Five years later, the Cle Elum Seven are safe, happy, healthy, confident, and most of all, they have their dignity and freedom to make choices.

As I have transitioned from one of the sanctuary’s first volunteers to a member of the Board of Directors, I have had the honor and privilege to participate in csnw’s remarkable evolution. I have seen us grow from an ambitious idea to a flourishing home for seven amazing individuals. And I have proudly witnessed our expanding influence in the movement to free all chimpanzees from the indignities of medical research and entertainment-based exploitation.

Thank you to our Founder Keith LaChappelle for having the courage to make his vision a reality; to our dedicated Board of Directors for their grounded, consistent leadership; to our hard working staff and volunteers who give genuine high-quality care to the chimpanzees on a daily basis; and to our loyal and generous donors and partners. We wouldn’t be where we are today without your compassion, passion, and dedication.

Thank you all for having a big heart and for being a part of our Cle Elum Seven family!

INSPIRATION COMES IN MANY FORMS AND FROM MANY PLACES.

Keith LaChappelle, the Founder of Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest, was inspired to create a sanctuary for chimpanzees from an article in Discover magazine. Keith in turn inspired friends and colleagues to join his dream and build the sanctuary, even before they knew what group of chimpanzees would eventually move in.

When someone from the organization People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (better known as peta) heard about Keith’s sanctuary of dreams, they were inspired to let him know about a group of seven chimpanzees who had been languishing in a basement in Pennsylvania after decades of use, abuse, and breeding by the biomedical testing industry.

And with that, csnw had found its first residents, and those seven chimpanzees became the inspiration for thousands of people around the world, including us.

We met Annie, Burrito, Foxie, Jamie, Jody, Missy, and Negra in December 2007 when they were still in that basement in Pennsylvania. Seeing them there in those tiny cages and knowing that they would soon discover the freedom of sanctuary was incredibly inspirational. It motivated us, along with so many others, to ensure not only their rescue, but also their long-term future at the sanctuary.

We recognize that we are extremely fortunate. We not only have seven chimpanzees who inspire us each and everyday, but we are surrounded by a whole team — a family — of volunteers, donors, advisors, and a dedicated staff and board. We are inspired and motivated by the time, money, and love given by everyone involved in making the lives of chimpanzees better.

Thank you so much for providing our good friends Negra, Burrito, Foxie, Jamie, Jody, Missy, and Annie with hope, love, home, family, and sanctuary.

“When I met the chimps, that was it for me. I can’t do anything about the past, but from here on out I can make each day a little better for them.”

– Denice Mikkelson, Volunteer

IN MEMORY OF MEL RICHARDSON, DVMDr. Mel will always be part of the heart and soul of Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest. He joined the Board of Directors in the spring of 2008, prior to the chimpanzees’ arrival, and was instrumental in developing our philosophy of care. He continued to oversee the care of the Cle Elum Seven for the next five and half years with boundless love and unwavering dedication.

During his visits to the sanctuary, Dr. Mel won over the chimpanzees and humans alike with his southern charm. If his easy smile didn’t immediately win you over, his countless stories surely would. He seemed to have lived multiple lifetimes, soaking up every bit he could, and he never stopped planning for the next adventure or the next opportunity to offer his expert but humble assistance.

Dr. Mel dedicated his life to helping animals, and he was especially committed to seeing formerly abused and neglected captive exotic animals thrive in sanctuaries. Remarkably, the health and happiness of the Cle Elum Seven are but one small part of his amazing legacy. From Rwanda to Cle Elum to Bolivia, he traveled across the globe to help animals in need.

“My life is enriched by supporting these chimps. I have come to know them and love each one individually — all through the Internet. The caretakers are brilliant and loving. They update the supporters via blog posts, photos, and videos of our chimp friends. It is the most fun I have ever had donating to charity.”

– Kat Morrell, Donor

Thanks to donors like you, csnw has come a long way in just a few short years since the Cle Elum Seven arrived. Our sanctuary is a testament to what can happen when chimpanzees are given a second chance.

We want to expand the Cle Elum Seven family and rescue more chimpanzees in need. In order for us to ensure the organization has a solid foundation for future growth, we will work towards building our current general operating reserves and purchasing the sanctuary property, which we currently lease.

The exemplary care of our current chimpanzee family will continue while we keep our focus on the future growth of the sanctuary. We have a lot of work ahead of us, but we are motivated by our desire to give more captive chimpanzees a better life so they can socialize with other chimpanzees and live out the rest of their lives with dignity and respect.

We are looking forward to the future with you!

The Future of Chimpanzee Sanctuary Nor thwest

Build additional offices for staff, volunteers, and student interns

If the opportunity arises, rescue a small group of young chimpanzees that could be integrated into our existing social group.

Purchase the sanctuary property to provide long-term stability for the organization.
