I attended in June 2015 the Chimpanzee Habituation Experience, a lifetime experience that allowed me to accompany the Kibale Forest Research and Habituation Team watching a Group of chimpanzee during their daily activities. These Group of chimpanzees was used to human presence in their natural environment. I was able to observe them swing from one tree to another, feed, play and groom each others fur. Chimpanzees are the closest living relatives to humans. in fact they share over 98 percent of their DNA. We share as humans so much with chimpanzees, not only percentage of their DNA, but kindness, tolerance, freedom of being, acceptance, honesty, being playful, loving, caring and so much more. Why should we destroy everything and forget where we came from? Think about it! treasure nature and protect it's beings and environment. If Wildlife could speak they would probably say just that.
