On Friday, June 12, 2015, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service announced their final ruling that all chimpanzees, whether wild or captive, would be listed with an endangered status under the Endangered Species Act. Previously split-listed (captive vs. wild), now all chimpanzees will receive the same protections. As a critically endangered species, Dr. Jane Goodall and the Jane Goodall Institute applaud this effort on behalf of chimpanzees, and our collective efforts to ensure their survival.
