Great apes find a saviour in UN

international rescue effort for the great apes. War, destruction of
habitat and poaching have pushed the world's great apes to the
point that it is estimated in 5 to 10 years they will be extinct in

UNEP said, "We can no longer stand by and watch these wondrous
creatures, some of whom share 98% of the DNA in humans, die
out." MAY 21, 2001
