People sometimes ask me which conservation organization they should give money to, and this is the one I recommend. The Jane Goodall Institute is doing first-class conservation work in Africa, protecting chimpanzees while at the same time involving the local people in this effort through regional reforestation, education, and micro-credit projects.

Sy Montgomery completely shares my perspective on animals and conservation. Her writing is personal, lively, courageous—so good it makes me very jealous.

Karl Ammann is the photojournalist who almost single-handedly brought the bushmeat crisis to the attention of the world. Bushmeat? Like the seafood that you may be intimately familiar with, it’s wild animal meat that is being unsustainably harvested. The only difference between bushmeat and seafood: bushmeat is mammal meat, taken from the forests of Central Africa and elsewhere. If you want to know more about the subject, the best single source is our book, Eating Apes: his photographs, my text.

This is a wonderful organization that works directly and practically to help primates of all sorts in all situations. It is also involved in a good deal of amazing undercover investigation into the illegal uses and abuses of non-human primates. I strongly recommend you contact the IPPL and subscribe to the Newsletter.

My friend Marc Bekoff is a well-respected ethologist from the University of Colorado who has written prolifically on animals—in areas of cognition, intelligence, emotions, and behavior—from a thoughtful and respectful stance that I admire. I regard his books as ‘required reading.’.
