If you consciously say 'I won't do it!' to yourself, then you have a good chance that you won't.

Most Africans don't get to see these wild animals at all. Once they see and learn about them, they are much more likely to become involved in protecting the environment.

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