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 *
