Abstract
If we are to have a self-sustaining, captive population of chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes), we must have breeders and parents, some of which can be supplied by resocialization. However, we cannot depend solely upon resocialization techniques to add breeders to the genetic pool nor to produce animals that are adequate parents.
