"Papa" Pierre Celebrates 14 Years of the Chimp Life

“Papa” Pierre has been a beloved member of the Chimp Haven colony since he arrived in September 2011. But for Colony Director, Michelle Reininger, their bond goes back even further — she’s known him for 25 years! 💚

✨ A B O U T ✨
At Chimp Haven we believe we’re not that different, humans and chimpanzees. Chimps have personalities, emotions and relationships, just like us, and we’re on a mission to connect them to the happy healthy lives they deserve. That’s why we’re providing and promoting personalized care for chimpanzees (most of whom were retired from biomedical research) by helping them, for their remaining years, live a good life – the chimp life.

More than a refuge, Chimp Haven offers 200 acres designed entirely for chimpanzees. Chimps can roam woodland and wide-open spaces; feast on fresh fruits and veggies; and thrive in large families. Here, they’re living the chimp life.
