#DidYouKnow chimpanzees exhibit culture? One of the many examples of our #ChimpanzeeConnection , as culture was long considered uniquely human. Chimpanzee communities from different areas fish for insects using a different method, display different etiquette when grooming, & they may or may not crack open nuts w. rocks! There’s so much more to learn about our closest living relatives this #WorldChimpanzeeDay at worldchimpanzeeday.org !

#WorldChimpanzeeDay is TOMORROW 7. 14! We’re celebrating our #ChimpanzeeConnection with inspiring stories of chimpanzees! Wounda came to JGI’s Tchimpounga Sanctuary on the verge of death, her name means “close to death.” She was injured in illegal pet trade & underwent what is believed to be first chimpanzee to chimpanzee blood transfer across Africa.

When Mbuke Ntala was invited to join JGI’s campaign to use compost as a lead farmer in Western Tanzania, she was hesitant—she hadn’t seen many women take on leadership in her community. Through trainings & practice speaking abt her experience, Mbuke gained confidence, + became a resource for other farmers !

#DidYouKnow that chimpanzees adopt children that aren’t their own? When a parent dies, older siblings & other members of the troop—regardless of sex—have been known to care for the orphaned chimpanzees. These new parents feed & teach their adopted children just as biological mothers would, helping them grow and succeed ! What else do you know about chimpanzees? Remember to like and share these posts and more from worldchimpanzeeday.org leading up to #WorldChimpanzeeDay this Friday July 14!

#DidYouKnow Dr. Goodall broke scientific standards by naming the chimpanzees she observed ? Critics said this would make her research less objective, but it allowed her to study individuals + show unique personalities, just like humans! At our Tchimpounga Sanctuary that rescues chimpanzees rescued from illegal trade, you can see these personalities in full effect!

With #WorldChimpanzeeDay around the corner, we’re celebrating our closest living relatives! #DidYouKnow that Dr. Jane Goodall’s first major observation when studying chimpanzees in Tanzania was tool use? Before she saw David Greybeard fishing for termites with a stick, scientists considered tools to be what separated humans from other animals. Thanks to Jane, we now know that humans aren’t so different after all! Help us celebrate #WCD2023 and our #ChimpanzeeConnection worldchimpanzeeday.org

Does this face look familiar? This chimpanzee could be credited with sparking some of the most transformational conversations about our human #ChimpanzeeConnection ! It was thanks to David Greybeard’s eventual trust in Dr. Jane Goodall that she was able to learn so much about our closest living relatives in the animal kingdom. He is one of the reasons that we celebrate #WorldChimpanzeeDay! Get ready for #WCD2023 on 7/14 by learning more at worldchimpanzeeday.org
