Ebola & Chocolate are Monkey Killers

Two of the biggest threats facing great apes are Ebola and chocolate. Since the 1990's Ebola has killed 33% of the world’s gorilla and chimpanzee populations. The other major threat to great ape populations is the loss of their natural habitat. In Africa the chimpanzee has lost half of its original range. Part of this loss is due to illegal cocoa farms.
