Iowa Floods and the Great Ape Trust

I just want to say thank you to all the people of Iowa who helped the bonobos and the orangutans at the Great Ape Trust to feel safe and protected. I know that the floods in Iowa have caused billions of dollars in damage and many people have suffered. Please do all you can to remember and help the people of Iowa and the rest of the midwest.

The Great Ape Trust was completely flooded but thanks to the hard work of the staff and lots of other people who gave help and donations, the bonobos and orangutans were able to stay in their homes and the important files and other things from the offices were saved. The Great Ape Trust does very important work. Their scientists and caretakers and all other staff are amazing people! There mission is




Provide sanctuary and an honorable life for great apes

Study the intelligence of great apes
Advance the conservation of great apes
Provide unique educational experiences about great apes

Thank you to everyone who made sure they can continue this mission

Ths is Azy who lives at the Great Ape Trust
