Client Ape Action Africa
Project Description
Of all great apes chimpanzees (and bonobos) display a range of facial expressions that make them a delight to photograph. Once while working with Dr. Jane Goodall at Gombe, she said to me, “If I didn’t study chimps I would have like to study the most amazing ape, humans, but I don’t think they would have tolerated me sitting quietly in the corner of their living room taking notes.” The orphan chimp kids of Ape Action Africa at Mefou Primate Sanctuary gave me the opportunity Dr. Goodall never quite had.
