10 As I began to gain Primatologist Sue Savage-Rumbaugh has suggested the possibility of a
bonobo language, not unlike that of vervet monkeys who have a different cry for a python, a leo-
pard, and an eagle, though all are predators. Vervets respond differently to each of the three cries.

10 The approach Savage-Rumbaugh developed Journalist Alexander Fiske-Harrison wrote that
Savage-Rumbaugh's “holistic approach to the research, rearing the apes from birth and immersing
them in a 'linguistic world,' seems the most sensible way forward given its success with Kanzi,
Panbanisha and her eldest son, Nyota.” “Talking with Apes,” Financial Times , Weekend section,

meat crisis. Ammann's own photos of slaughtered or suffering apes have been instrumental in edu-

18 However, conservation often requires There has been a trend in conservation that reduces the
value of nature to economic benefits for the development of rural communities. John F. Oates ex-
amines the worst manifestations of this trend in Myth and Reality in the Rain Forest . BCI and
their partners argue strongly for the intrinsic value of the bonobos and nature, and they are clearly
motivated by a desire to protect them. However, to make struggling communities amenable to re-
serves, conservationists have to engage in questions of building a local economy. Myth and Real-
