World Chimpanzee Day 2023 Help secure a safe future for our closest living relatives. Donate Now In honour of World Chimpanzee Day on July 14th, we invite you to make a meaningful difference in securing a safe future for our closest living relatives. Together in partnership with local communities, the Jane Goodall Institute of Canada is combating the major threats driving chimpanzee extinction, including the illegal and brutal wildlife trade which claims the lives of an estimated 3,000 chimpanzees each year.
