Save an Animal: Chimpanzee
Recently people have been entering the territory and lands of the chimpanzees. They originated from Africa but were in 25 countries. In five countries chimpanzees are already gone and five more countries, they are endangered. The threats towards chimpanzees are habitat destruction, hunting, and disease. The diseases that humans have and are contacted with chimpanzees can be very lethal to the chimpanzees. There are 2,000 chimpanzees living in the United States, 850 are in laboraties (for experimentation), 250 are in zoos, 600 of them live in sanctuary, and 250 are in entertainment industries. People are destroying chimpanzees' habitat because of their self-desire of building new civilizations (cities, roads, buildings, etc). Almost all of each continent is filled with plenty of people and plenty of growing communities and cities. I bet you when that people who are destroying their homes look at the chimpanzees they feel no pity or sympathy for them because people do not see that it is the chimpanzees' homes that they are destroying. I know some people who eat chimpanzees and that is also a reason of hunting. We can save chimpanzees by first stopping the deforestation and stop being so greedy on land. We can also rescue those chimpanzees who are left in the wild and put them in a safe environment where they are taken cared of every single day. But these people who will take care of them would be the ones who are committed to it by heart, we do not want people who are just in it for the money. People can also inform others on what is going on with chimpanzees and how we all can solve it.
