Freedom for baby chimp 黑猩猩幼崽重獲新生
Professor’s family’s unexpected fame 因電視直播采訪而意外成名的教授傢庭
文字稿
A heart-warming story of recovery. A baby chimpanzee – Nemley junior – with a great appetite; an astonishing turnaround given the trauma he’s been through. Poachers killed his mother and the rest of his family and then sold him to wildlife traffickers. A raid led to two arrests – a young dealer called Ibrahima Traore and his uncle Mohammed – they’re now awaiting trial – the first prosecution for wildlife trafficking that Ivory Coast has ever seen.
