1995 "In 1995, I published an article in Lewis and Clark Law School’s inaugural issue of “Animal Law.” The following year, I created the Center for the Expansion of Fundamental Rights, Inc. (CEFR), which is now the Nonhuman Rights Project, Inc., with Jane Goodall as a board member."[1]
2000 "In the last year of the 20th Century, my book Rattling the Cage – Toward Legal Rights for Animals appeared. During an interview about it, I was asked whether the time was ripe to file lawsuits that actually claimed legal rights for a nonhuman animal. I said, “It is not.” In response, the interviewer asked, “If not now, when?” “In about ten years,” I said."[1]
2007 "Founded by attorney Steven M. Wise, the Nonhuman Rights Project began in 2007 as a project of the Center for the Expansion of Fundamental Rights."[1]
2013 NhRP commences a strategic litigation campaign demanding that courts recognize the legal personhood of great apes, cetaceans, and elephants.[2]
2013 "In 2013 the Nonhuman Rights Project (NhRP) filed petitions in three trial courts in the state of New York demanding that common law writs of habeas corpus be issued on behalf of four captive chimpanzees—Tommy, Kiko, Hercules, and Leo."[3]
