The Chimpanzee & Me

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 . Illustrated in full colour throughout, this heartfelt book explores what we can do to protect chimps of the future and preserve this endlessly fascinating species. 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 destruction—not to mention how your new furniture, your toothpaste, and even your mobile phone are all implicated in their falling numbers.
