Chimp Haven is a non-profit sanctuary based outside Shreveport, Louisiana, spanning 200 acres where more than 300 chimpanzees retired from biomedical research live in forested habitats. The organization emphasizes providing chimpanzees with a social and natural lifestyle, including large groups, climbing trees, and daily activities that resemble their preferences in the wild. Its work centers on transporting remaining chimpanzees to the sanctuary and expanding the facility to accommodate them, reflecting a long-term mission to ensure all residents have space and freedom of choice in how they spend their days. The sanctuary operates as part of the broader animal welfare and conservation landscape, aligning with peers in the field while carving out a dedicated role for chimpanzee retirement and care. Recent developments include initiatives such as KardiaMobile training research, showcased as a concrete project undertaken by the organization. Based in Keithville, the Louisiana region, Chimp Haven serves as a home for chimpanzees formerly used in research, focusing on their well-being and social needs within a protected sanctuary environment.
