The Trimates and some of their notable accomplishments, a #SheWalksWithApes thread:
Dian Fossey was able to identify specific gorillas based on their 'nose prints'. #SheWalksWithApes
To combat poachers, Dian Fossey enlisted the help of locals to protect the 254 mountain gorillas left in Dian Fossey's time. Their number has since tripled, but they are still at risk for extinction. #SheWalksWithApes
Jane Goodall was the first to discover that chimpanzees used tools in the 1960s. She was also one of the first to recognize personality in chimps, and to document their relationships. #SheWalksWithApes
Jane Goodall's research on chimpanzees fundamentally changed our understanding between humans and animals. #SheWalksWithApes
Today, Jane Goodall's work continues through @JaneGoodallInst. #SheWalksWithApes
Biruté Galdikas has studied orangutans longer than any other living person on Earth. #SheWalksWithApes
Galdikas has recorded over 400 different types of food that orangutans consume. She holds the record for the longest continuous study done by one investigator on a mammal for studying orangutans for over 40 years. #SheWalksWithApes
