Room to Explore, Space to Connect, and Greater Protection
For Batman and Timon, a new habitat means more room to explore. For Alice, Eboni, and Angel, overhead tunnels offer a favorite spot to settle in together. At Kindness Ranch, new emergency water supplies provide greater protection for the animals who call it home.
These improvements were supported by NAVS’ Animal Sanctuary Assistance Program (ASAP), helping sanctuary partners meet the needs of animals in their care.
Primates Inc.: A New Habitat for Batman and Timon
Construction is complete on Batman and Timon’s spacious new enclosure, and the two are enjoying exploring their surroundings. It is Primates Inc.’s largest enclosure to date and its first built around existing trees, incorporating the landscape into their new home.
Save the Chimps: A Favorite Place to Be Together
At Save the Chimps, completed overhead tunnels in Alice’s Building support comfortable movement between indoor spaces. New slider doors and locking mechanisms also make opening and closing the tunnels significantly easier and safer for staff.
For Alice, Eboni, and Angel, the tunnels have become much more than a passageway. They are a favorite place to spend time together, grooming one another and nesting side by side.
Kindness Ranch: Preparing to Protect
After a March 19 grass fire threatened Kindness Ranch, an April ASAP grant supported the purchase of ten 250-gallon water storage tanks as an emergency preparedness measure.
The tanks are now strategically positioned around the ranch. With dry conditions and ongoing drought, these additional water supplies help staff prepare to respond quickly and protect the animals, people, and land if another fire occurs.
