| "The Chimpanzee
is only one of the many species threatened with extinction in the
wild; but he is, after all, our closest living relative and it would
be tragic if when our grandchildren are grown the Chimpanzee exists
only in the zoo and the labratory-a frightening thought, since for
the most part the Chimpanzee in captivity is different from the
magnificent creature we know so well in the wild."
Dr. Jane Goodall from her book 'In The Shadow
of Man' |
Primate Questions
of Conservation
An ethnographical film by Fisher, Hellyer, Koller and Leonhardt.
‘Primate Questions of Conservation’ was produced from
film footage and still photography gathered during The Colorado
African Expedition of 2007. The film focuses upon the plight to
conserve and protect a secure habitat for the central African great
apes at the expense of the habitat and hunter-gatherer
culture of the Batwa pygmy people. The two groups of Primates, Great
Apes and Batwa Pygmies, lived together harmoniously for thousands
of years. However, now the Batwa people having been forced off their
ancestral lands are diminishing along with the disappearance of
their hunter-gatherer culture. ‘Primate Questions of Conservation’
is a film by Fisher, Hellyer, Koller and Leonhardt-All Rights Reserved
