Ape sanctuary in Des Moines faced with fundraising gaps
Des Moines plans a 137 acre ape sanctuary near Easter Lake with initial funds uncertain. Ted Townsend says more than 10 million was pledged but new costs are unknown as construction nears. The facility will house bonobos, gorillas, and orangutans from research programs with no wild captures. Research led by Sue Savage-Rumbaugh and public access delayed for years. Townsend also backs a separate 225 million Iowa Child Institute project.
