CSNW supporter Jennifer Douglas and her husband James are sponsoring the migration of Noah on behalf of his mother Negra. Check out the photo of Noah below – he looks so much like his mom!!

Noah (STC) [Bubba's Family]

Noah currently lives at the Save the Chimps facility in New Mexico which was formerly owned by the Coulston Foundation – a notoriously horrid research facility that closed down when Save the Chimps stepped in to rescue the chimpanzees. Like all of the chimpanzees at the former Coulston Foundation laboratory, Noah will be making the journey to Florida where he will live on an island with a large group of chimpanzees. We’re so pleased that Jennifer and James and so many of you are reaching out to help the relatives of the Cle Elum Seven in other sanctuaries.

Thanks to Candy Crannell for alerting us that Noah is now on the Save the Chimps website, and for sponsoring the migration of Foxie’s daughter Angie (who also looks remarkably like her mother).  Also check out Negra’s daughter Angel from this previous post. Many of the sons and daughters of the Cle Elum Seven are now at Save the Chimps, so more on relatives soon!

    He does look so much like Negra! He is so handsome. Thank you, James and Jennifer for sponsoring Noah’s migration. He will be so much happier on an island with his friends. I am looking forward to all the chimps in Alamagordo arriving at Ft. Pierce!
    I am thrilled to hear about other chimp lovers helping out chimps. God bless them!

    Noah and Angel have Negra’s nose.

    Thank you Jennifer and James for your support in this endeavor.

    When I’d received the Save the Chimps (STC) newsletter and that they’d added more pictures I went straight the migration section. When I saw that Noah, he was the only one fully-sponsored, that it had to be from a CSNW family member(s). Way to go Jennifer and James!

    Noah, I love that name, does look like Negra, I love the yellow teddy bear.

    I’ve looked at hundreds of chimpanzee photos and still get excited when I see facial similarities to their parents.

    James and Jennifer for sponsoring Negra’s son. It is such a thrill to see the children of the Cle Elum 7. Angel and Noah do so look like their mom.
    Diana, have you all ever thought about showing the chimps photos of their kids? I just wonder if they would recognize them or be able to see that they are OK, too.

    I just ordered some things from the STC Amazon wishlist to be sent to NM a few days ago. I hope Noah will be able to enjoy some dried fruit or the toy drum!

    Jeani – we have shown the chimps photos of their children and didn’t get too much of a reaction. It’s hard to say whether they recognized them or not.

    Thanks Diana, I was just curious and sad, too.
