National Geographic may have just acquired a new fan base; but is it the pictures, or the cool covers? The chimpanzees at the Henry Vilas Zoo in Madison, Wisconsin, recently received six boxes of back issues from a group of local schoolchildren, and the publications appear to be a big hit. The magazines are scattered about their living quarters to simulate the big leafy plants found in their native habitat, said Jim Hubing, director of the zoo. But the chimps sometimes flip through the glossy pages, and react to certain pictures. An orangutan in Madison's Henry Vilas Zoo holds a copy of National Geographic.

jdesilva@mos.org Program Audience : General audience. School groups, families. Program Overview : The Boston Museum of Science features the Human Body Connection, an interactive, staffed exhibit addressing human anatomy, physiology, evolution, and technology. The three year-old exhibit is home to a pair of Cotton-Top Tamarin monkeys obtained to educate museum visitors about primates, primate behavior, ethology, and primate evolution. Existing exhibitry currently challenges visitors to consider each of these topics, while a scheduled demonstration titled "Observing Primates" allows visitors to participate in an observational study of the Tamarins. We are in the developing stages of a public program on primate evolution and a field trip program for high school students on human evolution. The Boston Museum of Science will prepare for the arrival of Jane Goodall's Wild Chimpanzees by expanding upon these programs in the Human Body Connection, and in other life science areas of the museum. In scheduled formal demonstrations, and informal interpretations, visitors will consider primate morphology, and behavior in an evolutionary context, and learn the skills necessary to study primates. These activities will augment the Jane Goodall film, while abiding by the 'Science as an Activity' plan of the Boston Museum of Science and its mandate to teach biological evolution. These activities will also be available for related programs detailed at the end of this action plan.

Primates in Peril
The indoor chimpanzee cage is a below-ground cement pit that resembles a dungeon. Our investigator was appalled when, on her very first visit to AWR, she saw piles of rotten food and feces swarming with flies and maggots in the chimps' depressing cell. Over time, she found out that this is the usual state of affairs at AWR. The chimpanzees, including one who Azzopardi claims appeared in a remake of Planet of the Apes , spent their days staring at the walls, lying on a garbage-strewn metal resting platform, or screaming and fighting with one another, not unnatural in such stressful conditions.
On his Web site, Azzopardi describes this same chimpanzee enclosure this way: "[Walter] has a deck to climb on and an out door (sic) atrium with a tire to swing on." Click here to see the real enclosure.
Walter is an 11-year-old chimpanzee who has been at AWR since he was 9. Walter's name before coming to AWR was Bucky, and at the time of PETA's 1994 investigation into animal supplier Buckshire in Perkasie, Pennsylvania, he was just a baby of 2 years. Bucky was born in 1992 at the Laboratory for Experimental Medicine and Surgery in Primates (LEMSIP) at New York University. LEMSIP had an ugly habit of giving babies to Buckshire in exchange for using other Buckshire chimpanzees for breeding and testing. LEMSIP tore Bucky from his mother and gave him to Buckshire and from there, at 7 months of age, he was given to a tawdry traveling photo business run by a Florida couple. Bucky was returned to Buckshire's basement laboratory cages when he was 2. That's when PETA's investigator videotaped Bucky rocking ceaselessly from loneliness and the trauma of losing his mother.

Great apes in danger

LANGUAGE IN NON-HUMAN SPECIES INTERMEDIATE STAGES BIBLIOGRAPHY ... ANIMAL RIGHTS From Africa to Southeast Asia the worlds great apes are in danger of becoming extinct. The UN is on a mission to save these precious animals, gorillas, orangutans, chimpanzees, and bonobos, from dying off. Great apes still live in 23 countries and experts working to save the last great apes in the wild are hoping to keep it that way.
Conservationists led by the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) have launched a global effort to save the great apes from extinction in sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia. The Great Apes Survival Project (GRASP) targets 23 areas where gorillas, orangutans, chimpanzees, bonobos, and other primates are near extinction as a result of war, habitat destruction, and poaching for trophies, souvenirs, and meat. It seems grotesque that the peaceful bonobos cannot escape the chaos of civil war in Congo. Pacifism happens to be the principal attribute of bonobos, very unlike their aggressive human relatives. Experts estimates that in five to ten years some of these primates will be extinct across most of their range. Not one species of primates has been lost in the past century, but now 25 species of apes, monkeys, lemurs and other primates are imperiled and may soon disappear.

"Nonhuman primates are not furry-looking humans"

Nonhuman primates are not furry-looking humans We know that nonhuman primates share up to ninety-nine percent of their DNA with humans. We have watched Jane Goodall and others on television showing us how similar we are to our nonhuman primate "cousins". So much similarity must mean that laboratory experiments on chimpanzees, monkeys and other nonhuman primates provides results reliable enough to be extrapolated to humans, right? Maybe not. Compare the track record of safety testing of medications for humans on nonhuman primates. Primates have been very disappointing with regards to their ability to predict dangerous side effects of medications, especially pertaining to the induction of birth defects. Perhaps the most infamous example is thalidomide, which caused birth defects in some but not many nonhuman primates. Aspirin produces birth defects in primates, but not babies. PCP, better known as angel dust, sedates chimpanzees but causes humans to have severe and untoward experiences including paranoia. Nitrobenzene is toxic to humans but not monkeys. Isoproterenol doses were worked out on animals, but proved to high for humans. People died as a result. Even when the researchers knew what to look for they were unable to reproduce this effect in monkeys. Carbenoxalone caused people to retain water to the point of heart failure. Scientists retrospectively tested it on monkeys, but could not reproduce this effect.

NEWS PROJECTS EDUCATION GET INVOLVED ... EXTRAS
Red Colobus Extinct According to a report in the October issue of the journal of Conservation Biology, the bushmeat trade is responsible for the fist primate extinction in 100 years. Researchers, led by John Oates of Hunter College in the USA, spent the last six years looking for evidence of the once abundant Miss Waldron's red colobus monkey in Ghana and the Ivory coast. Whilst there was no sign at all of the monkey they did find spent shotgun shells, traps and snares. This extinction may be the first of many as Becky Harris of Born Free's Primate Campaign reports below. BUSHMEAT COULD POSE A THREAT TO UGANDA'S CHIMPANZEES
The bushmeat issue is the biggest threat facing the survival of chimpanzees and gorillas in Africa today and it is estimated by some scientists that chimpanzees may only have between 5-10 years before they become extinct in the wild. With the continuing war in the Democratic Republic of Congo, many people have fled to Uganda for safety. However, last week Born Free received the worrying news that two Congolese refugees had been arrested in Uganda with chimpanzee bushmeat. Although chimpanzees are eaten in some African countries, this is the first case of chimps being killed for bushmeat in Uganda. Conservationists are concerned that if this escalates it could pose a threat to survival of the remaining 3000 wild chimpanzees which live in the forests of Uganda.

The Foraging Behavior Enrichment of Primates in Taipei Zoo
Ci Wen Yang and Chien-Jen Yang
Abstract
This paper describes the foraging environmental enrichment programs designed to stimulate natural behavior of gorillas, chimpanzees and fat-tailed lemurs in Taipei Zoo. These experiments have resulted in the extension of their feeding time and increase their social interaction.
Introduction
Environment enrichment is an important and adopted zoo management tool for the captive primates in modern zoos. In order to promote animal conservation education, we invited Dr Hunthius, the conservation and science director of the American Zoo Association, with his group of animal behavior researchers to conduct a workshop ‘The application of behavior study in animal management’ in 1992. A series of programs were initiated to enrich the animal behavior. With the operation of some key elements within the captive environment, including foraging and management design, the natural behavior of the animals was stimulated to reduce the occurrence of abnormal behavior. This report is the study results of primates.

Chimpanzees shed light on the evolution of human senses
19/3/04. By John Pickrell Insights into the evolution of sight, smell and speech are emerging from comparisons of the human genome with the DNA of chimpanzees and other primates. Comparing humans and chimpanzees
A study of thousands of human and chimp genes, published in the journal Science in December 2003, shows that there could be key differences in our perceptions of the world. Different suites of genes may govern how chimps and humans smell and hear, and differences in hearing might even have affected the evolution of speech, wrote Andrew Clark (Cornell University, Ithaca, New York) and colleagues at other research centres. To find key differences between a selection of 7645 chimp and human genes, Clark and colleagues looked for evidence of positive selection. Genes that had higher mutation rates than the expected background rate for each species (termed positive selection) were thought likely to have offered a survival advantage. These genes are likely to account for biologically significant differences, the kind that might define humanness.
