Fauna Annual Report, 2014
Sue Ellen © NJ Wight 2014 Annual Report 2 Hello, I am so delighted to be sharing our first annual report with you. As some of you may know, there have been a few administrative changes here at Fauna and hopefully you will now be hearing from us more often. I am happy to say that Fauna is forever evolving and growing. Although we are often afraid of change, it really is good for all of us, but most of all, change is great for the chimps. I know many of you reading this report have been with us from the very beginning of this amazing journey. You have witnessed a lot of change over the years here at Fauna, so many good things–I hope you can see how much you have helped us make a better life and home for our beloved residents. I also hope that our new friends will understand that we consistently try to improve living conditions for the chimps. They need far more than we can ever give them but even the smallest changes enrich their lives and give them new opportunities and provide them with more options. I adore all of you for the support you show and have shown over the years, how you never ask questions about why another skywalk? Or why new windows? You listen to the needs of the chimps and you help make those dreams come true. You trust we will make the right decisions and you support us along the way, helping us grow and become the kind of place that really can provide a better life for the chimps. You are the ones who inspire and encourage us every day with your lovely cards, letters and emails. Your words of encouragement and expressing your concern for the wellbeing of chimpanzees make us want to do more; to be better. There is not a note that comes my way that I do not read over and over. I want to know how you feel and I need to take the light and energy you send me to the chimps. Knowing you care and that you are always there for us is more than heartwarming: it is a comfort and a necessity. Without you we could never have done all that we have, from the gifts you send to the love and support, you keep us going. You have become my friends along this journey. You are there when we have problems and you are there to share joyous moments…there is nothing more I could ever have wanted from you. I am deeply moved by the love and friendship you have shared with the chimps and that you have shown me. I am hoping this report will show you what we have been up to. We flash back to the past and bring you up-to-date. We also talk a little about the future. You will read the names of the hundreds and hundreds of people who have helped make all this possible and we have shown you where the funds go, how we use our money and how we plan on preparing for the future. Last, but certainly not least, you will learn about the wonderful volunteers who help us day in and day out in so many different ways, from bake sales across the country to hands-on work right here at Fauna. Oh– and let’s not forget for one second the incredible Fauna staff! From the wonderful team of people who take care of our beloved residents every single day; to those who tend to the land and the wildlife that shares our property; to the office staff who care for you, our supporters. It takes a great team to do all the work and it takes a team of loving, committed people to care for a sanctuary. That includes you! Panhoots and joy to you in the new year, 3 R E S I D MONKEYS Darla Newton Eugene Sophie Theo FARM ANIMALS Bella Beverly Katrina Mcleod Eyore Elsa Skunk Finnigan June Axel Lucky Sunny Randy Sam Angus Mary Betty Terry Boxer Phoebe Megan Budha Peter Rabbit Addison Lily Yani Suzie Riley Fou Fou 4 Bugsy Chloe E N T S CHIMPS Chance Maya Sue Ellen Jethro Toby Loulis Rachel Spock Tatu Petra Regis Binky CHIMPS IN REMEMBRANCE Jeannie Billy Jo Tom Pablo Pepper 5 Sophie Annie Yoko Donna Rae Fauna Timeline 1997 »»June 1997: Construction of the chimp house begins. »»September 1997: Annie, Rachel, Chance, Petra, Binky, Regis & Jethro arrived at Fauna from LEMSIP (Laboratory for Experimental Research and Surgery in Primates) in New York. 1997 »»July 1998: The first phase of the 3 outdoor enclosures was completed allowing the chimps to go outside for the first time. »»March 2000: Large three level wooden structures were added to the large play areas.

This form of giving is very important as your will is a statement of your values and reflects those things that are significant in your life. In addition to family and friends many people wish to remember those organizations whose work most closely reflects their values. A charitable bequest simply is a clause in your will directing your executor to pay a portion of your assets to a named charity. Below is a sample of how you can include Fauna in bequeathing funds: “I bequeath to the Fauna Foundation of Carignan, Quebec _____% of the residue of my Estate to be applicable to the general purposes of the Foundation.” Please call our office at 450-658-1844 for more details. We are thankful for your meaningful gifts. 10 VOLUNTEERS On the horizon… Internship Program In the summer of 2015, we will be starting an internship program at Fauna. Students interested in a potential career in primate care will be able to participate in an 8-week program that will cover the many aspects of the job. From enrichment to preparing meals to chimp behaviors, our interns will gain valuable experience for their future careers. Re-vamped Volunteer Program In the winter of 2015, we will be re-vamping our Volunteer program. Volunteers help us with many tasks around Fauna and this new program will include more ways than ever to help at Fauna. Extending Skywalks We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. —Winston Churchill Since our inception in 1997, many volunteers have given their time and energy to Fauna. Whether it is volunteer days on the weekends, helping out on a weekly basis in the gardens, or preparing enrichment, each volunteer’s contribution is greatly appreciated by all of us here at Fauna. Here is a list of our volunteers from 2014. Thank you to all!

Garage Sale »»Bake Sale “A day outside the office” »»Deloitte Impact Day »»Tribal Nova Volunteer Day 11 Corporate Events Our chimps love to spend their days outside in the skywalks. We are currently working on extending our skywalks another 150 feet, from Island 1 to Annie’s Island. We already have 500+ feet of skywalk in place. Greenhouses The chimps love to be outside, but during the winter, the cold prevents them from spending too much time outdoors. We plan on extending certain areas of the chimp house with overhanging greenhouses, that will have full 360 degree views of the outdoors and will be heated year round. Binky’s Man Cave There’s an area in the chimphouse known as “Back 2”. There is an abundance of open space there that we will be converting into a man cave for Binky. Complete with a punching bag, ball pit, and other chimp toys, this will be the perfect place for Binky to let loose. Summer Member Day & Special Events Check on our website Chimp House Changes Pop down tunnels will connect upstairs areas with privacy rooms. These will give the chimps easy access to views of the kitchen activities. Sue Ellen, Loulis, and Tatu will greatly benefit from this.
