The Chimpanzees of Gombe were made famous by Jane Goodall, the legendary British primatologist. Individuals she spent her life studying such as 'Frodo' and 'Gremlin' are now the stars of BBC One, but behind the day to day intrigues of chimp society a crisis is deepening.



Chimp numbers are crashing, here in Gombe and everywhere else in Africa. Their forest homes have become ever shrinking islands. Reflecting the wider threat to chimpanzees across Africa, the Gombe chimps face hunting, disease, habitat destruction and the effects of uncontrolled human migration. Biologists such as Jane Goodall have been forced to give up their research to join the battle to save them. Just what will it take to save chimpanzees from extinction?

In an area once shrouded in rain forest, the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation is struggling to accommodate the flood of homeless orangutans. The orangutan's forest homes are disappearing and now a new commercial drive is threatening their last remaining refuges.



Palm oil is big business - it has become the world's cheapest and best selling vegetable oil, and brings in over $3 billion for Indonesia's economy each year. One in ten products on our supermarket shelves contains this oil, from margarine to cosmetics. But, as our demand for palm oil increases, more and more forest is being removed to make way for huge plantations, leaving wild orangutans with nowhere to go.

In the heart of the Congo gorillas are under fire - their numbers are falling fast. In Kahuzi Biega, Africa's most dangerous national park, this film investigates the most endangered species - the Eastern gorilla.



The vast park is home to more than 80% of these apes, but it has become a lawless jungle battleground. The Congolese authorities, with help from conservationists from organisations such as the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund, the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International and the UN are struggling to protect people and gorillas from heavily armed poachers. Gorillas have become collateral damage in the scramble for the Congo's rich mineral resources. In the midst of so much human suffering, what chance do the remaining gorillas have?
