This past Tuesday, Jungle Friends interns Jordon and Jane made the 230 mile trip to the Save the Chimps sanctuary in Fort Pierce, FL. Brian, STC's Food and Safety Operations Manager, gave the interns a tour around the 200 acre sanctuary. The tour consisted of the 12 separate three-acre islands with their corresponding buildings, the office area, the diet and enrichment prep area, the water treatment facility, and the mobile vet clinic. Brian told the interns about "The Great Chimpanzee Migration," which has relocated about 200 chimps from New Mexico to Florida on a custom-built trailer and is still making the trips 10 chimps at a time. The interns were also told the story of STC's founder, the late Dr. Carole Noon. Although she never saw her dream sanctuary completed, the continuing success of the chimpanzee sanctuary was the perfect tribute to her memory. Jordon and Jane greatly appreciated the friendliness of the workers at Save the Chimps and have taken the amazing experience to heart.

Searching digg.com I noticed your site bookmarked as:
ReplyDeleteBlogger: Jungle Friends Monkeyshines. Now I am assuming you book-marked it yourself and wanted to ask if social book-marking gets you
a ton of visitors? I've been thinking of doing some book-marking for a few of my sites but wasn't
certain if it would yield any positive results. Thank you so much.
