This week the well-respected environmentalist and scientist Richard Leakey
made an impassioned plea for assistance in the continued attempt to protect
the world's Great Apes, which include chimpanzees, gorillas, bonobos, and
orangutans. Current estimates from the United Nations indicate that there
are approximately 450,000 Great Apes left in the world, and there is
increased concern that they may become extinct within 10 to 15 years if no
action is taken in the near future. Leakey suggested that fencing in large
areas of habitats for these animals could dramatically reduce poaching,
which continues to be a problem. He also noted that while there are some
definite success stories (such as the improvement of the situation in
Rwanda), overall the picture seemed rather bleak. Leakey also called on the
world's more affluent countries to buttress some of the costs associated
with such a program, noting that "The world must wake up to the fact that
poor countries can't bear the financial burden and arrest their development
simply because the richer countries feel sentimental." For his own part,
Leakey is in charge of the U.N.-based Great Apes Survival Project, which
seeks to raise a minimum of $25-million to be utilized over the next three
years. [KMG]
