We could change the world tomorrow if all the millions of people around the world acted the way they believe.

You better not mess with chimps. They are much stronger than humans.

Chimps taught us we're not separated from the animal kingdom, we're a part of it.

As a child, we couldn't afford holidays overseas, so instead I travelled through books. I was inspired by Dr Dolittle and Tarzan.

I got to Africa. I got the opportunity to go and learn, not about any animal, but chimpanzees. I was living in my dream world, the forest in Gombe National Park in Tanzania. It was Tanganyika when I began.

...it honestly didn't matter how we humans got to be the way we are, whether evolution or special creation was responsible. What mattered and mattered desperately was our future development. Were we going to go on destroying God's creation, fighting each other, hurting the other creatures of the His planet?

If we kill off the wild, then we are killing a part of our souls.
