From survivor of genocide to conservation hero: A moving, heartwarming memoir about a real-life chimpanzee whisperer-now the subject of the award-winning documentary film Pant Hoot. Stany Nyandwi's gift for communicating with chimpanzees is so special that world-renowned primatologist Dr. Jane Goodall has called him a "chimpanzee whisperer." His skills & devotion to these creatures-our closest living relatives, with whom we share 98.7 percent of our DNA-have earned him international awards & sent him on travels within Africa & around the world. But he began life in poverty, born & raised in a dirt-floor, straw-roofed hut in rural Burundi. The Chimpanzee Whisperer is the story of his astonishing life journey. It is also an African story. Receiving only an elementary education before he quit school, he suffered injustice & tragic loss because of his ethnic group. He began caring for orphaned & rescued chimps in Burundi. When the country descended into civil war & genocide, he was forced to flee with the chimps & endured long separation from his family. Continuing to work with & learn about chimpanzees in Kenya, Uganda, & later South Africa, he made himself into an incomparable authority. His memoir has adventure, danger, & many unique & touching stories about chimpanzees that show his bond with & understanding of them. As told to award-winning author David Blissett, it reveals a remarkable man who has refused to let circumstances defeat him. Conditioned by hate, wounded by loss, he has lived for love, faith, & compassion, giving new life, as Dr. Jane Goodall writes in her foreword, to so many chimpanzees whose families, like his own, were torn apart by violence. ...
