Become As Knowledgeable As Possible.

Other People Have Talked About Chimpanzees Being A Window Into The Past, Which I Suppose Is True, In A Way.

It's Not Africa That Is Destroying The African Rainforest, It's Selling Concessions To Timber Companies That Are Not African, They Are From The Developed World - Japan, America, Germany, Britain.

In Tanzania, The Chimps Are Isolated In A Very Tiny Patch Of Forest. I Flew Over It 13 Years Ago And Realized That, Basically, All The Trees Had Gone, That People All Around The Park Are Struggling To Survive. It Became Very Clear That There Was No Way To Protect The Chimps While The People Were In This Dire Circumstance.

The Tree I Had In The Garden As A Child, My Beech Tree, I Used To Climb Up There And Spend Hours. I Took My Homework Up There, My Books, I Went Up There If I Was Sad, And It Just Felt Very Good To Be Up There Among The Green Leaves And The Birds And The Sky.

I Believe Sharing Stories And Experiences Is The Best Way To Teach People To Empathize!
