APNM offers you a unique opportunity to help ensure former research chimpanzees are permanently retired to bona fide sanctuaries. By purchasing chimpanzee freedom tags ($20), you will help APNM with its campaign to seek retirement for the more than 200 chimpanzees still owned by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and who are being warehoused at the Alamogordo Primate Facility (APF) on Holloman Air Force Base.
Tags are also available for chimpanzees already retired and living at the Save the Chimps temporary sanctuary, formerly The Coulston Foundation facility (TCF) in Alamogordo.
Chimp tag sales will be used in APNM's campaign to have all government-owned chimpanzees languishing at APF retired to a permanent sanctuary.
You can "adopt" a chimpanzee quickly and easily. Choose from the list of chimps below, and contact us online or by mail. Your chimpanzee freedom tag will be mailed to you, or as a gift to the person of your choice. (For gifts, be sure to include the recipient’s address.)
Checks are payable to APNM and must be received before tags are mailed. Shipping is free! Send payment to: APNM Chimp Tags, PO Box 11395, Albuquerque, NM 87192

Wear it proudly! Speak out about the APF's chimps' languishing in a holding facility when they could be living in a sanctuary instead. Wearing a freedom tag creates awareness of the plight of chimpanzees who have been and still are being used for medical research.
Here’s how to read your chimpanzee freedom tag:
- Line one is the Name of your chimpanzee
- Line two is the Species (CHIMPANZEE)
- Line three is the former Inventory Number and chimpanzee’s gender
- Line four is your chimpanzee’s Date of Birth
- Line five is your chimpanzee’s Location: NIH, Holloman Air Force Base, or the former TCF-The Coulston Foundation, Alamogordo
- Share the information you receive. Urge others to support this program.
- Write letters to the media about the immorality of primate biomedical research.
- Do something for chimpanzees on each birthday anniversary of the chimpanzee for whom you are now the guardian.
