A Life With Chimps

Living on Earth

Africa’s bushmeat trade has claimed thousands of chimpanzees over the years, and left thousands more captive or orphaned. Sheila Siddle runs the largest chimpanzee refuge in the world, and is author of “In My Family Tree: A Life with Chimpanzees.” She talks with host Diane Toomey about her efforts to save and rehabilitate the chimps of Africa.
