The Chimpanzee and Me by Ben Garrod
This is a unique look at conservation of the species and Ben's life-long love of chimps, illustrated with full colour photos.
'[Garrod] estimates that there are about 4,500 privately owned primates in the country.. Professor Garrod told the Hay Festival that anyone could buy a couple of marmosets in Manchester for £1,500, adding that there was 'no regulation to stop that' ... His book outlines the health dangers for the animals and warns that psychological problems are rife' The Times.
'The book begins with Ben's story of how he became involved in chimpanzee conservation, including an endearing anecdote about the chimp that started his journey, followed by a fact-filled guide to our closest primate relatives ... [It will] endear the reader to the plight of this endangered species. I would recommend this book to secondary students that are interested in endangered species and conservation' The School Librarian.
