Very sad news about one of the greatest defenders of wild primates and a significant figure in European primatology. He will be greatly missed!
The Taï chimpanzees have lost their greatest champion. Christophe Boesch, founder of the @TaiChimpProject and Wild Chimpanzee Foundation, has passed away, age 72. His dedication to the science and protection of chimpanzees is an inspiration to all of us. He will be hugely missed.

Too many unaccredited or uncertified “zoos” and “sanctuaries” exist, and many are deficient, writes @RobShumaker

A fantastic set of colleagues who are truly helping @IUCNssc leap forward with species conservation.
The Global Center for Species Survival is built upon a partnership between the @IndianapolisZoo & @IUCNssc. We support, connect & increase the capacity of more than 10,000 conservationists worldwide. @ProtectSpecies
Loved the elephant category on @jeopardy tonight...but one clue was very wrong. "Man the tool user" was dethroned by @JaneGoodallInst...@charlesdarwin had nothing to do with it. #animaltoolbehavior
