🐵🗓️ Can you believe World Chimpanzee Day is just two weeks away?? 🌳🔍 Each year on July 14, we celebrate our closest living relatives in the animal kingdom! Why July 14? Because on that day 64 years ago, Jane first stepped into what is now known as Gombe, Tanzania, to begin her research into wild chimpanzee behavior. She had no way of knowing that her insights into chimpanzees would not only change how we view them, but also how we view ourselves. 🥳👏 In honor of this anniversary, the Jane Goodall Institute came together with a group of NGOs, including North American Primate Sanctuary Alliance, Liberia Chimpanzee Rescue & Protection, and Lincoln Park Zoo, to found #WorldChimpanzeeDay. And we'll be celebrating our sixth annual party for chimps all month long! Join us by sharing your favorite chimpanzee fact in the comments below to help us kick off the celebration.
