Born Free Foundation - Keep Wildlife in the Wild

Primates

  • Chimp
  • Gorilla

Our closest living relatives, great apes have always fascinated humans.  Apes communicate with complex sounds and gestures, feel emotions, live in intricate family groups, and can create and use tools.   But apes are under threat.  Their forest homes are destroyed by logging companies, which open up habitats to poachers.  Poachers sell baby apes as pets, or kill them for ‘bushmeat’ or for tourist ‘curios’.
