TANAPA says chimps on verge of extinction

The Arusha Times "The rare score of chimpanzees currently numbering at about 700 are the next endangered animal species in Tanzania after rhinoceroses, the Tanzania National Parks Authority has revealed.

Speaking in his office recently, the Director General of TANAPA Gerald Bigurube revealed that there are 600 chimps at Mahale which is the highest number at any location with 100 others at Gombe, but being susceptible to diseases, including those affecting humans and hounded by more than fair share of predators, the chimpanzees are rapidly disappearing."
