GAP.
Great Ape Project (GAP), fondée en 1993, est une organisation internationale de primatologues, de psychologues, de spécialistes de l'éthique et d'autres experts qui préconisent une « déclaration des droits des grands singes » de l'Organisation des Nations unies afin que soient conférés des droits fondamentaux juridiques aux grands singes non-humains comme les chimpanzés, les bonobos, les gorilles et les orang-outans. Les droits proposés sont le droit à vivre, la protection de la liberté individuelle et l'interdiction de la torture.
L'organisation surveille également l'activité individuelle des grands singes aux États-Unis grâce à un programme de recensement. Une fois que ces droits seront établis, GAP compte exiger la libération des grands singes en captivité.
