The Primate Foundation of Arizona (PFA) has available copies of our PFA 
Captive Chimpanzee Colony Protocol and Psychological Wellness Program and 
the PFA Captive Chimpanzee Ethogram for use by interested parties.  Over 
the past 30 years, PFA Programs, for which we are internationally known, 
have applied safe, humane, and innovative captive management strategies to 
assure the well-being and continuity of the U.S. captive chimpanzee (Pan 
troglodytes) population.  The PFA Protocols are designed to maintain a 
physically sound and behaviorally competent chimpanzee population, as well 
as promote and assure psychological well-being.  Further, the protocols are 
applicable for both large and small facilities.  The PFA Captive Chimpanzee 
Colony Protocol and Psychological Wellness Program is a detailed program 
for the daily physical and psychological care of captive chimpanzees on the 
PFA site.  This includes staff training and guidelines.  The programs are 
easily adaptable to your own facility.  The PFA Captive Chimpanzee Ethogram 
is an exhaustive ethogram for captive chimpanzees containing behaviors, 
vocalizations, and facial expressions.
