If We Do Not Do Something To

Animals Were My Passion From Even Before I Could Speak Apparently. When I Was About 10, 11 I Fell In Love With Tarzan.

I Thought My Life Was Mapped Out. Research, Living In The Forest, Teaching And Writing. But In '86 I Went To A Conference And Realised The Chimpanzees Were Disappearing. I Had Worldwide Recognition And A Gift Of Communication. I Had To Use Them.

I Believe That We Have More Capability Than Any Other Creature To Control Our Biological Inheritance - And We Do So Most Of The Time.

We Can't Leave People In Abject Poverty, So We Need To Raise The Standard Of Living For 80% Of The World's People, While Bringing It Down Considerably For The 20% Who Are Destroying Our Natural Resources.

I Was Even Accused Of Teaching The Chimps How To Fish For Termites Which I Mean That Would Have Been Such A Brilliant Coup.
