GAP Project - O GAP luta pela garantia dos direitos básicos à vida, liberdade e não-tortura dos grandes primatas não humanos - Chimpanzés, Gorilas, Orangotangos e Bonobos, nossos parentes mais próximos no mundo animal.

Chimpanzees change their minds based on evidence, demonstrating, like us, rational thinking
New study shows that chimpanzees have the ability to change their minds and make new choices according to the evidence experienced. This ability is the basis of what we can call rational thinking – which until now was classified as a distinctive characteristic of human beings.
It is incomprehensible, and at the same time revealing, that in the 21st century—when science has proven beyond any doubt the genetic, cognitive and emotional closeness we share with the great apes—we still relegate them to the silence of forgetfulness.
Today we are faced with the sad news of the passing of British primatologist Jane Goodall, one of the greatest global references in the study of chimpanzee behavior and sociality.

Chimpanzee Jeber was castrated and had all his teeth pulled out in the circus where he lived. Because of this, he developed an unusual way of eating certain things. For example, to eat coconut, he uses his fingers to pull…
He arrived at the sanctuary in 2008, along with his companion Tyson, when IBAMA (Brazilian Environmental Institute) confiscated all animals from Le Cirque Circus, in Brasília.
Chimps Caco and Jully are inseparable companions and an inspiring example of the transformative potential of socialization in a Sanctuary. Twenty three years ago, They found each other, complemented one another, and discovered their balance to live the peace and…
