Speaker Requests

Interested in having a Chimp Haven spokesperson speak to your group or event? Please fill out the Chimp Haven Speaker Request Form and we’ll be in touch! (Please note that while virtual speaker options are available, we do not currently have the capability to live stream chimpanzee areas from the sanctuary.) Please submit speaker requests at least two weeks prior to your program date. Speakers are offered as a free benefit to the community; however, donations to Chimp Haven are appreciated.

Reading List

This is a small selection on the many available works on chimpanzees. Many of these authors have multiple books to their credit. Please consult your favorite book stores and sites for additional recommendations, reviews, and newly published works.
