In tales of adventure, research, and conservation, veteran field researchers and conservationists describe exciting discoveries made over the past few decades about chimpanzees, bonobos, and gorillas. The book features vivid descriptions of interactions among these highly intelligent creatures as they hunt, socialize, and play. More difficult themes emerge as well, including the threats apes face from poaching, disease, and deforestation. In stories that are often moving and highly personal, this book takes measure of how special the great apes are and discusses positive conservation efforts, including ecotourism, that can help bring these magnificent animals back from the brink of extinction. 606 $aApes$zAfrica$vAnecdotes 606 $aApes$zAfrica$vPictorial works 606 $aApes$xResearch$zAfrica$vAnecdotes 606 $aApes$xConservation 606 $aRare mammals$zAfrica 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aApes 615 0$aApes 615 0$aApes$xResearch 615 0$aApes$xConservation. 615 0$aRare mammals 676 $a599.88096 701 $aRobbins$b Martha M.$f1967-$01055014 701 $aBoesch$b Christophe$0850778 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456878103321 996 $aAmong African apes$92488074 997 $aUNINA
