Meet the Relatives

摘要

Gorillas are among our closest living relations. For $500 you can make a one-hour house call in their jungle habitat. Hunters,disease and habitat loss are decimating our closest living relatives— chimpanzees, orangutans, gorillas and bonobos. In West Africa the Ebola virus killed 5,000 gorillas in just one corner of the Republic of the Congo. Chimpanzees are hunted for their meat, considered a luxury in some parts. In Asia orangutans are being overrun by palm oil plantations and coffee farms.
