The Center for Orangutan and Chimpanzee Conservation's mission is to provide a permanent sanctuary in a safe and enriching environment for orangutans and chimpanzees in need of permanent life-time care.
The Center maintains these animals in a safe and enriching habitat in accordance with state and federal regulations while providing a behavioral study situation for students of primatology, anthropology, zoology, and other related subjects. The Center also provides a resource center as well as education programs for the public about these endangered primates and their need for conservation in the wild as well as their need for protection in captivity.
