A fantastic $558,578 was raised for the 37 sanctuaries taking part in the day - an incredible result, which supports the amazing work the sanctuaries are doing to help apes around the world and to protect them.

Well done to everyone who helps and a big thank you to the sanctuaries for all you're doing to help apes around the world.
