Apes on the Edge

Más información sobre el libro

The Fongoli chimpanzees stand out due to their unique behaviors, such as female hunters using tools to catch prey and their adaptability to environmental challenges like fire and water. Living in a habitat shared with humans, these chimps face food scarcity and habitat degradation, mirroring the struggles of local communities. Jill Pruetz, who has studied them for over twenty years, shares insights from her fieldwork and discusses conservation efforts through her non-profit, Neighbor Ape. This book offers a compelling look at their lives and the urgent need for conservation.
