Description:

Genetically, the chimpanzee is humankind's closest relative in the animal kingdom. Yet in recent times humans have shown scant regard for the welfare of their intelligent cousin. 'Saving Chimpanzees' is a remarkable account of some of his rescue missions, complicated operations requiring diplomacy and no small measure of courage and dedication. Now updated after the recent terrifying incident at Chimp Eden, Eugene provides insight and describes the events, reasons and consequences of the attack on a student. As presenter of the internationally acclaimed Animal Planet series, Escape to Chimp Eden, Eugene Cussons has brought the plight of the chimpanzee to a wider audience. The manager of Jane Goodall Institute’s Chimpanzee Eden lives at Chimp Eden near Nelspruit with his wife Natasha and his daughter Haley.
