Happy Trifecta Jubilee!

On June 13th we celebrate Negra's honorary birthday, Terry's actual 36th birthday, and the arrival anniversary of the first group of seven chimpanzees to the sanctuary in 2008.

We don't know Negra's actual birth date or even her birth year, but we are celebrating her 53rd birthday this year. It's so hard to believe that she and her six friends have been at the sanctuary for 18 years now!

Make a donation in celebration of these milestones and wish Negra and Terry a happy birthday in the comment box of your donation.

    Thank you all for having such vision, determination, wisdom, and hearts so big that they can hold the lives of seven amazing chimpanzees so close and dear. The Cle Elum Seven have changed me. I am grateful. I have been changed for good.

Grooming in the Greenhouse

posted on June 15, 2026

Of the many reasons why chimpanzees engage in social grooming (also known as “allogrooming”), hygiene is thought to be one of the least important. Grooming appears to be much more about strengthening bonds, lowering stress levels, and gaining favors. But evidence suggests that hygiene still plays an important role, as chimps often concentrate on partsContinue Reading
