Florida’s “Great Ape Heaven” Wauchula’s Center for Great Apes Sets the Bar for Chimpanzee and Orangtutan Sanctuaries

Known as the Center for Great Apes, the sanctuary is located in Wauchula, just a few miles from the beautiful Peace River, on 120 acres of tranquil tropical forest. Manned by a team of dedicated professionals and supported exclusively by the generosity of private donations, the sanctuary is the only one of its kind in North America to care for both species of great apes.
