It became clear that chimpanzees are much more similar to us than previously thought. They cannot speak for themselves.” – Jane Goodall | 40 Years at Gombe (1999), p. Jane described chimpanzee social life, family bonds, politics, and hunting. “The least I can do is speak out for the hundreds of chimpanzees who, right now, sit hunched, miserable and without hope, staring out with dead eyes from their metal prisons. One of the earliest and most significant discoveries made by Jane Goodall was that chimpanzees hunt for and eat meat. From living virtually alone in the forest, studying and observing Chimpanzees during her days in Gombe, she is now a committed activist who is on the road 300 days a year in hopes of educating the public on the importance of conservation. All told, chimps may kill and eat a third of the Gombe’s colobus.
Today, Goodall is a global force for compassion and a UN Messenger of Peace. During one hunting binge, chimps killed 71 colobus monkeys in 68 days one chimp alone killed 42 monkeys over five years. Also in her first year at Gombe, Jane observed chimps hunting and eating bushpigs and other animals, disproving theories that chimpanzees were primarily.
This has encouraged her to speak up about the issues centering the conservation of Chimpanzees. some of which is in this film, like chimps hunting colobus monkeys.
After attending the Understanding Chimpanzees conference in Chicago 1986, Goodall was shocked to learn of the reasons behind Chimps’ dwindling population. Jane Goodall, the worlds foremost expert in chimpanzees, has seen the film.
