Chimpanzee welcomes visitor with open arms after abandoned alone on island for years (4)

The Humane Society of the United States is currently supporting the chimps and trying to raise money for them.

And a group called SOS PONSO is trying to do the same for the poor lonely chimp, already surpassing its goal of €20,000 - all of which will be used for Ponso's care.

The funds will help provide 'feeding, enrichments and urgent vet care for Ponso', according to the GoFundMe page.

Ponso and 19 other chimps were relocated to an island near the Assagny National Park after they were used for testing by the New York Blood Center in 1983
