Knowledge: Chimpanzees + The Jane Goodall Institute
Chimpanzees laugh when they play. How cute.

Chimpanzees communicate much like humans do -- by kissing,
embracing, patting on the back, touching hands, tickling.

Humans and chimpanzees share 95 to 98 percent of the same DNA.
Biologically, chimpanzees are more closely related to humans than they are to gorillas.

Chimpanzees use more tools for more purposes than any other creatures except humans.

Like humans, chimps have opposable thumbs and opposable big toes
which allow them to grip things with their feet.
One of the chimpanzee calls is the "pant-hoot." Each individual has his or her
own distinctive pant-hoot, so that the chimp can be identified with precision.

Chimpanzees are not meant to be pets; a full-grown chimpanzee has
five or six times the strength of a human being.
Chimpanzees are endangered. There are probably between 172,000
and 300,000 chimpanzees remaining in the wild.

Our Core Values (The Jane Goodall Institute)
There are several core values that inform everything we do:
• We strive to respect, nourish and protect all living things;
people, animals and the environment are all interconnected
• We believe that knowledge leads to understanding,
and that understanding will encourage us to take action
• We believe that every individual has the ability to make a positive difference
• We believe that flexibility and open-mindedness are essential
to enable us to respond to a changing world.
• We require integrity and compassion in all that we do and say

Music: Eddie Vedder + Pearl Jam
Eddie Vedder, Rise

Such is the way of the world
You can never know
Just where to put all your faith
And how will it grow
Gonna rise up
Burning back holes in dark memories
Gonna rise up
Turning mistakes into gold
Such is the passage of time
Too fast to fold
And suddenly swallowed by signs
Low and behold
Gonna rise up
Find my direction magnetically
Gonna rise up
Throw down my ace in the hole
