Our registered charity, The Great Ape
Fund, was established by Dr. Bowman to generate funding
for projects in the field. Visit our Fund
page, where you can find more information about
this fund.
The situation facing the great apes today, calls for
support from the developed nations like Canada and the
USA, and the many European nations. It is the support
from nations like these that will eventually make the
difference in saving the apes from extinction. Many
of the people in the African countries where the unsustainable
hunting is occurring, know that they need help, but
do not have the resources or funding to help put an
end to it. We must encourage our governments and politicians
to become involved in something that will have a global
effect.
What does it say about humans who are wiping out their
very own closest relatives? These creatures do not just
belong to the people in these countries around the world,
like those in Africa, but to all of us. It is our obligation
as citizens of developed nations to do whatever we can,
from wherever it is that we live, to aid in this difficult
battle to end this most urgent crisis.
Please bookmark our site, and pass our URL to as many
people as you possibly can. Read through the pages and
find out some of the things that you can do. There are
a large number of people working right now to help the
great apes, and they need our support. As you are sitting
at home or work, and you are reading these pages, just
take a moment and think about what a great loss it would
be if we did nothing, and stood by as the great apes
became extinct. This could be a distinct reality in
the next few decades, or sooner.
We hope that, after reading the many links to
the articles, and visiting the numerous rich and fascinating
sites, that you will have begun to realize what the
great apes are up against, and what must be done to
protect them.
Thank you for visiting, and please,
HELP SPREAD THE WORD!
Best Regards,
Dr. Kerry Bowman and the rest of our team
