Learning more about our earth and the other animals we share it with is both fascinating and special, and it can also be heartbreaking as we see the mistreatment and even disappearance of different animals. One such animal that faces danger at the hands of humans is the chimpanzee. Luckily, we have inspiring people who dedicate their lives to helping such animals. And today, we are speaking with two of them—Jenny and Jim Desmond. Jenny and Jim are the founders of Liberia Chimpanzee Rescue & Protection, and they are featured in BBC America’s new series Baby Chimp Rescue.
