CLIENT NEED

Strategic Earth is supporting the North American Primate Sanctuary Alliance (NAPSA) with a strategic planning process to help re-home captive chimpanzees successfully to accredited, reputable facilities. 

STRATEGY

Strategic Earth will support the design and facilitation of strategy sessions with NAPSA’s leadership to build a roadmap for chimpanzees’ long-term care and reprieve in sanctuaries. Strategy sessions will be informed by an initial information-gathering phase where our team will lead a series of interviews with key partners to learn about successes, strengths, and examples of best practices in the industry. Strategic Earth will also provide project management services and coordinate communication across NAPSA.

KEY RESULTS AND OUTCOMES

  • Stronger relationships across NAPSA partners that support consensus-driven decision-making and co-developed visions, values, and goals.
  • A series of strategy sessions for cross-sector capacity planning with key partners (including funders) to imagine possibilities, wishes, hopes, and aspirations for chimpanzees’ successful future sanctuary placement.
