Bonobos, orangutans, chimpanzees and gorillas are thinking, self-aware intelligent beings. Great Ape Trust is dedicated to knowing them, saving them, learning from them, and advocating for them. The Trust’s commitment to the apes is clearly evident in the scores of video clips we have produced for you – and for them.
Great Ape Trust
Since its inception in Des Moines, Iowa in 2002, Great Ape Trust has become internationally recognized for its scientific research and conservation initiatives.

Science
Never think in limiting terms what anyone can do whether it's an ape or a human. If you provide apes every opportunity to fully express themselves and early enough in their lives, they will do things you thought they wouldn't or couldn't do.
