"Learning about how chimpanzees are treated around the
world was shocking. Now I never want to see a chimpanzee commercial
again." [middle school student]
"Very interesting & educational. Made me curious to
learn more about chimpanzees."
"It's amazing about chimpanzee's knowing silent signals.
I feel sad about the loss of habitat, logging, and bush meat
trade. I never knew how similar we were to chimpanzees. I never
really thought chimpanzees can really feel stuff. This tour
made me realize that chimpanzees really feel stuff almost the
same as us." [from a child]

safe & healthy. That is what made this experience great.
Thank you. You all are amazing."

and
understanding."

express themselves freely, while doing the workshop."
"Interesting to see how close we are to chimps. It gives me a new
definition of 'human.'"
"We felt very fortunate to have the chance to attend a
Chimposium during the recent Family Weekend at CWU. It was truly
the highlight of the weekend for us! The presentations were
well done and very informative. We were fascinated by the philosophy
and breadth of the program. Thank you very much for making this
available to us. The project is truly something of which you
and CWU can be very proud!"
"Incredible experience! I look forward to transferring to CWU and
finding a way to get involved in this awesome program. Thank you!"

bushmeat."

the chimpanzees. They seem to have excellent healthy facilities.
