Located just 22 miles outside of Shreveport lies a beautiful sanctuary where chimpanzees go to retire. This incredible organization is dedicated to making sure these beautiful creatures can spend the rest of their lives in paradise, living out their golden years in complete freedom. It just so happens to be the largest chimpanzee sanctuary in the world, and it’s right here in Louisiana!
