Fauna Foundation

Canada's Only Chimpanzee Sanctuary

Fauna Foundation is the only chimpanzee sanctuary in Canada. We provide permanent sanctuary for chimpanzees and monkeys retired from biomedical research and zoos.

Environmental Enrichment

We endeavor to promote natural chimpanzee behaviors and healing with environmental enrichment. For example chimpanzees naturally climb, forage, manipulate objects, and groom. To promote these behaviors we provide ropes and structures to increase natural locomotion. We provide food puzzles to promote foraging. We provide myriad crayons, puzzles, toys, and clothes to promote manipulation. We provide hairbrushes, nail files, and back scratchers to promote grooming. This is a lot of stuff that we need to purchase to maintain a regular supply of objects for enrichment.

Our campaign this year is to purchase enrichment items for the chimpanzees for the year. We hope to raise $7,000.
