Publisher's Summary

For over a decade, Ben Garrod has studied chimpanzees to find ways to protect and conserve them. We join Ben on a journey that has taken him around the world, studying eastern chimps in the humid forests of Uganda and the critically endangered western chimps of Liberia. 

In his trademark infectious, lighthearted style, Ben describes encounters with chimpanzees that highlight the different threats they face. From the illegal international pet trade, to bushmeat markets, and the effects of relentless habitat loss - not to mention how your new furniture, your toothpaste and even your mobile phone are all implicated in their falling numbers. With access to world-renowned primatologist Dr Jane Goodall, Ben shows how we can protect the chimps of the future and help conserve this endlessly fascinating species.

Really incredible!

Wow! I’ve realised anything that has Ben Garrod in it is absolutely amazing! Really great book and some insane foreshadowing about the potential of a global pandemic caused by bats at a food stall somewhere😅 Some amazing insights to the life of chimpanzees and what we can do to protect them as a whole!
