Save the chimps!
Like human children, chimpanzee babies are very attached to their mums — but many of them lose their parents when they are very young. In West and Central Africa, mothers of young chimps are among the animals killed by poachers for meat. The poachers then sell the poor orphan babies for experiments or to circuses, or as exotic pets.
Fortunately, many of these young chimps have now got a loving home at the new Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary in Kenya. ‘Most of them are in a terrible state when we rescue them,’ says Chris Jordan, of Care for the Wild, an organisation that helps pay for the chimps to stay at the Sanctuary.
At Sweetwaters the young chimpanzees can have a normal life, looking for food, making friends and learning how to explore and climb. Most are doing well. ‘Some of the baby chimps are badly injured when we find them,’ adds Chris. ‘We really need an intensive care unit. Then we can help more animals.’

Спасите шимпанзе!
Как и человеческие дети, детеныши шимпанзе очень привязаны к своим мамам, — но многие из них теряют своих родителей, когда они очень маленькие. В Западной и Центральной Африке, матери молодых шимпанзе являются одними из животных, которых браконьеры убивают на мясо. Браконьеры затем продают бедных детей-сирот для экспериментов или цирков или в качестве экзотических животных.
К счастью, многие из этих молодых шимпанзе уже получил любящий дом в новом уголке дикой природы Свитвотерс шимпанзе в Кении. «Большинство из них находились в ужасном состоянии, когда мы их спасли», говорит Крис Джордан, из Заботы о Дикой природе, организации, которая помогает платить за шимпанзе, чтобы они оставались в уголке дикой природы.
В Свитвотерс молодые шимпанзе могут иметь нормальную жизнь, искать пищу, завести друзей и научиться исследовать и лазить по деревьям. Большинство из них чувствуют себя хорошо. «Некоторые из детенышей шимпанзе тяжело ранены, когда мы находим их», добавляет Крис. «Нам действительно нужен блок интенсивной терапии. Тогда мы сможем помочь большему количеству животных».

Chimpanzees are our closest living relatives in the animal kingdom. They share about 98% of our DNA. These amazing animals are native to the forests of Africa, where they live in groups called troops.
Chimps are highly intelligent creatures. They have been known to use tools, communicate through a complex system of vocalizations and gestures, and even show emotions similar to humans. However, their population is rapidly declining due to habitat loss, hunting, and the illegal pet trade.
Efforts are being made to save the chimps and protect their habitats. Many organizations are working to create and maintain protected areas where chimps can live freely. They are also involved in rescuing and rehabilitating chimps that have been taken from the wild or kept in captivity.
It is important for us to support these conservation efforts and raise awareness about the plight of chimpanzees. By educating others about the importance of preserving their habitats and stopping the illegal pet trade, we can help ensure a future for these incredible creatures.

1. Chimpanzees are our closest living relatives in the animal kingdom.
