Welcome to the North American Wood Ape Conservancy

The North American Wood Ape Conservancy is a scientific-research organization dedicated to studying the North American wood ape, the animal many people call “bigfoot” or “sasquatch”. We are an all-volunteer, non-profit organization with members from all over the world and from all walks of life.

Passion

Our members are investigating one of the greatest natural enigmas of our time, and our main goal is to ultimately have the wood ape species documented, protected, and the land they inhabit protected.

Dedication

Another goal of the NAWAC is to also help educate people about the wood ape species by sharing the experiences and knowledge we’ve gained over the last several decades through outreach programs. We have written several technical papers concerning our research, namely, the “Ouachita Project Monograph”, and “Tag 7”. We also produce our own podcast entitled, Apes Among Us.

Teamwork

Feel free to also explore our database of historical reports and encounters and learn about our report classification system. If you feel like you’ve had an encounter with a wood ape, you may also submit an incident for us to investigate.
