Prologue: Save the apes! -- Heart of darkness -- Homeless -- Bushmeat -- Outbreak -- In a not-so-gilded cage -- The double-edged sword of ecotourism -- Ethnocide -- Epilogue: May there always be apes.
A warning that the extinction of the great apes -- chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, and orangutans--will become reality within just a few human generations. We are on the verge of losing the last links to our evolutionary past and to all the biological knowledge about ourselves that would die along with them.
