"A beautifully written book about an ongoing tragedy of global
significance. Dale Peterson's account sweeps across broad issues of
conservation and animal welfare that are linked to human welfare
and should be the concern of everyone everywhere."--Edward O.
Wilson, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning "On Human Nature
"I applaud Dale Peterson for taking on this challenging subject
with courage and honesty. In identifying development, in the form
of logging, as the primary threat to biodiversity in Africa, this
book gets it right, and I recommend it most highly to anyone who
wishes to be let in on the secrets of Africa's biggest conservation
crisis."--Marcellin Agnagna, former Director of Wildlife and
National Parks for the Republic of Congo
"The African Great Apes, our closest living relatives, are in
imminent danger of extinction. "Eating Apes, "in beautiful prose,
exposes the enormity and complexity of this conservation crisis. It
took great courage to gather and present this information. You must
read this book."--Jane Goodall
"It is with joy that I welcome this beautifully written and
persuasive book that I pray should be read not only in America and
Europe but also in Africa. We are facing an environmental crisis
because of those few political and corporate opportunists who take
advantage of weak political institutions lacking legitimacy for the
indigenous peoples of Central and West Africa."--Ajume H. Wingo,
Professor of Political Philosophy, University of Massachusetts,
Boston, and Research Fellow of the W.E.B. DuBois Institute, Harvard
University
"What is happening to our nearest relatives, the African great
apes, in their last remaining strongholds, is appalling, yetmost of
us know nothing about it. We should all thank Dale Peterson and
Karl Ammann for this powerful book, which should end that
ignorance. Everyone should read it, and then insist that their
governments act before it is too late."--Peter Singer, author of
"Animal Liberation "and "Ethics "
"In "Eating Apes, Dale Peterson becomes the Hercule Poirot of
the tropics. When he heard that in the equatorial forests apes have
become meat for loggers, Peterson set off to part the curtain on a
world of jungle tragedy where cultures collide, where innocence is
eroded by money and power, and where conservation all too often
collapses into politics. What he found is shocking, but his
detective work means that ignorance is no longer an excuse for the
world's inaction. Will the apes survive? "Eating Apes is a
brilliant, intimate guide to the challenge--and a launching-pad for
the rescue mission."--Richard Wrangham, author of "Demonic Males:
Apes and the Origins of Human Violence
"Peterson and Amman's book is a bold and brave j'accuse of the
logging and conservation organizations who are spearheading this
latest attack. You must read this book. And then you must follow
the advice of Peterson and Amman as to what you can do to help stop
it."--Roger Fouts, author of "Next of Kin
