About the Map

There are 9 research facilities in the United States that house the more than 1,000 chimpanzees currently being used in research. All of the facilities either conduct invasive research or "warehouse" the chimpanzees—housing them until they are requested for use in invasive research.

Over 500 chimpanzees have been retired from research in the U.S. and reside in 10 sanctuaries located in the United States and Canada. (There are no chimpanzee laboratories located in Canada).

Notes and Disclaimer

NOTE: There are additional chimpanzee sanctuaries located in the U.S. This map shows only those sanctuaries with chimpanzees formerly used in research. If you know of a sanctuary that isn't listed here but has chimpanzees formerly used in research, please contact us at chimpsdeservebetter@humanesociety.org

NOTE: Numbers of chimpanzees in laboratories are approximate. It is difficult to determine the exact numbers as up-to-date numbers are not made readily available by the facilities.

Disclaimer: Facilities on this map labeled "sanctuary" are self-described sanctuaries and their presence on this map does not indicate an endorsement by The HSUS.
