So many things have changed for the Cle Elum Seven chimpanzees in the last ten years since they moved from a research lab to the sanctuary.
One of the most striking is their new view.

Hope. Love. Home. Sanctuary for primates.

Wowsie wow! What a magnificent view it is. What a magnificent group of chimps. Day made!
and clearly they love the views that you all have worked so hard to give them.
What a radical change! How did they exist looking at that stark grey wall?! (breaks my heart to think about it) And now they have land, sky, and all the wild creatures that live within. Thank you for giving them natural beauty all around.
It seems obvious but still I want to ask: these fabulous photos are from a drone, right?
Hi Donna. These photos were all taken either through or over the electric fencing that surrounds Young’s Hill. Sometimes the camera blurs out the fence wires so they’re not as visible. We also have a few raised vantage points from which we can shoot over the fence.
Beautiful.
