Each one of us matters, has a role to play, and makes a difference. Each one of us must take responsibility for our own lives, and above all, show respect and love for living things around us, especially each other.

However much you know giraffes, to see one in the wild for the first time feels prehistoric.

Here we are, the most clever species ever to have lived. So how is it we can destroy the only planet we have?

It's the bond between mother and child, which is really for us and for chimps and other primates, the root of all the expressions of social behavior.

Other people have talked about chimpanzees being a window into the past, which I suppose is true, in a way.

Be assured that our individual actions, collectively, make a huge difference.

Chimpanzees can be quite political.
