The Great Ape Trust is a special place where people take care of apes (animals that look like monkeys) who are very smart and can communicate with humans!
Just like how you talk to your family and friends by using words, these apes can also use some words to talk to their caretakers. They can use a special type of sign language or boards with symbols to show what they want or need.
The people who take care of them are called researchers and they study the apes to learn about their behavior, intelligence, and emotions. It's like going to school for the apes!
The apes get to live in a natural environment where they can climb trees, play with other apes, and eat fruits and vegetables. The researchers also play games with them and give them puzzles to solve to keep their brains active and healthy.
The Great Ape Trust is a very special place because it helps us learn more about these amazing animals and how we can help protect them in the wild.
