It has, for example, worked for the establishment and maintenance of sanctuaries, including financial and manpower support of Sheri Speede's sanctuary efforts in Cameroon, Africa. The group has also donated time and money to the Chimps, Inc. sanctuary near Bend, Oregon. In that program, Booee was reunited with his former caretaker Roger Fouts. He was later released from the New York laboratory where he had been housed for years, and GAP has provided significant funds to the sanctuary in southern California where he now lives. In a recent campaign, GAP-UK sent out the Declaration on the Rights of Great Apes to supporters and signatories along with a request that they collect signatures from friends and others.
Compilation is in progress.
Also, the group has a new coordinator, John Waller, who is a graduate student at University College London. A few Latin-American countries are following this lead. Canada GAP-Canada is still in its infant stage, trying to organize by developing a network of coordinators for each province. They now have coordinators in British Columbia, Manitoba and Ontario. Looking for a New Coordinator GAP-Germany is not very active right now due to the fact that the group is looking for a new coordinator.
