Transcript: Chimpanzees In 1900, an estimated 1 million chimpanzees lived in the wild. Chimpanzees Today, there are as few as 340,000. Today, there are estimated to be merely 170,000-300,000 chimpanzees left in Africa, and their population is decreasing rapidly. "Equipped with little more than a notebook, binoculars, and her fascination with wildlife, Jane Goodall braved a realm of unknowns to give the world a remarkable window into humankind’s closest living relatives. Through more than 50 years of groundbreaking work, Dr. Jane Goodall has not only shown us the urgent need to protect chimpanzees from extinction; she has also redefined species conservation to include the needs of local people and the environment. Today she travels the world, speaking about the threats facing chimpanzees and environmental crises, urging each of us to take action on behalf of all living things and planet we share." Jane Goodall Quote from Website Primates Primates "The bush-meat trade threatens vulnerable animals, but it also poses a threat to people— wildlife can spread viruses to humans, including HIV and Ebola." "Primates like the Mountain Gorilla are becoming more and more endangered due to excessive hunting in Africa. In fact, there are only about 600 mountain gorillas left in the world due to poaching. The animals’ body parts are very valuable and sold to tourists as souvenirs. In addition to being captured and killed, the gorillas’ lives are at risk because of habitat loss. The large wave of human settlement meant using the gorillas’ land for agricultural purposes. Efforts to protect this critically endangered species have come to a halt ever since the civil war started up in Africa." Gorillas Gorillas Rhinos Rhinos -Caution- *animal cruelty is shown*
