Jeremy and Amy: The Extraordinary True Story of One Man and His Orang-Utan

Product Information

Maybe, just maybe, a part of Jim Cronin's legacy is that Monkey World teaches us there is no such thing as a perfect family unit. This map shows our experience of where primates are smuggled from in the wild (primate image), and where they are rescued from (triangle). He worked with the Pingtung keeping staff for 10 days, exchanging ideas and methods of hygiene, animal welfare, environmental enrichment, and cage design.

As she reached adolscence, she became unmanageable in the house and a new enclosure was created for her. There was the arrival of some Barbary macaques, pig-tailed macaques and some ring-tailed lemurs, which made up the rest of the collection of primates housed in Cronin's rescue centre. No escape: Desperate Brits trying to flee Gaza 'are turned away' just hours after Rafah crossing to Egypt.At the centre there were 36 gibbons of four different species; lar gibbons, pileated gibbons, golden-cheeked gibbons and white-cheeked gibbons.

We want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues. No zoo would keep 60-plus chimps and feed and equip them because it is not commercially viable, but that's our thinking and our focus - and that is Jim. Taking time out from organising two more chimp rescues, Jim's wife Alison explains Monkey World's family philosophy that embraces not only the animals that live there and the people directly connected to it around the world, but also the visitors, the wider public and the programme makers. You know, children often understand Monkey World far better than adults who think their emotions and feelings are unique to humans.

years ago it was estimated that there were 200 chimps being used in Spanish coastal resorts; all smuggled from the wild. That Keeling should have found fulfilment and achieved so much from such unpromising beginnings shows that there's room for all of us somewhere, that no one is beyond redemption.
