The Care and Management of Captive Chimpanzees is a valuable reference text for individuals at zoos, laboratories, and sanctuaries that want to provide their chimpanzees with the best possible care and environment. The volume covers topics from health care and contraceptives to regulations, training, and forming and managing social groups. Each chapter provides a thorough review of the scientific literature, illustrated and summarized for ease of reading. Recommendations and methods to meet particular management goals are included, based on empirical data on captive chimpanzees as well as the natural behaviour and social organization of the species.
