Chimpanzees I Love: Saving Their World And Ours

Jane Goodall's childhood fascination with Africa's wildlife set the course for her life. Her early research on chimpanzees overturned many assumptions about these animals and brought her wide attention through televised documentaries. In the years since, she has devoted herself to defending chimpanzees, which now face the risk of extinction. This short, personal book looks back on that journey and makes the case that protecting these animals also protects the wider natural world. Written for young and older readers alike, it is meant to encourage anyone who wants to take part in the effort.
