The Chimpanzee Whisperer Unfallbericht Vorlage. A moving, heartwarming memoir about a conservation hero and real life chimpanzee whisperernow the subject of the award winning documentary film Pant Hoot. Stany Nyandwi's gift for communicating with chimpanzees is so special that world renowned primatologist Dr. Jane Goodall has called him a "chimpanzee whisperer." His skills and devotion to these creaturesour closest living relatives, with whom we share 98. 7 percent of our DNAhave earned him international awards and sent him on travels within Africa and around the world. But he began life in poverty, born and raised in a dirt floor, straw roofed hut in rural Burundi. The Chimpanzee Whisperer is the story of his astonishing life journey. It is also an African story. Receiving only an elementary education before he quit school, he suffered injustice and tragic loss because of his ethnic group. He began caring for orphaned and rescued chimps in Burundi. When the country descended into civil war and genocide, he was forced to flee with the chimps and endured long separation from his family. Continuing to work with and learn about chimpanzees in Kenya, Uganda, and later South Africa, he made himself into an incomparable authority. His memoir has adventure, danger, and many unique and touching stories about chimpanzees that show his bond with and understanding of them. As told to award winning author David Blissett, it reveals a remarkable man who has refused to let circumstances defeat him. Conditioned by hate, wounded by loss, he has lived for love, faith, and compassion, giving new life, as Dr. Jane Goodall writes in her foreword, "to so many chimpanzees whose families, like his own, were torn apart by violence." "It was clear from the start that he had a real gift for working with these creatures He was able to communicate with them in a special way to the point that we called him a 'chimpanzee whisperer.' I hope you will be inspired by this life story of a gentle, unassuming African man whose devotion and sacrifice has given new life to so many chimpanzees whose families, like his own, were torn apart by violence." Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE, from her foreword
