There is an article from July 12 from Reuters news explaining how this zoo is using software to create an environment within the zoo enclosure to urge captive chimps to act and feel more like they are in the wild. Interesting.

That's wonderful!! Especially if helps their adjustment and chances at survival after being reintroduced to the wild. Things like concrete and treated wood beams are so unnatural. So so cool to see people rethinking things like this.

Thanks for sharing @zoogirl1
The fact alone that these chimps are more active than before is worth the whole installation!Posted
