  • Jane Goodall
    Jane Goodall Dame Jane Morris Goodall, DBE (born Valerie Jane Morris-Goodall on 3 April 1934) is a British primatologist, ethologist, anthropologist, and UN Messenger of Peace.Considered to be the world's foremost expert on chimpanzees, Goodall is best known for her 45-year study of social and family interactions of wild chimpanzees in Gombe Stream National Park, Tanzania. She is the founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and the Roots & Shoots program, and she has worked extensively on conservation and animal welfare issues. She has served on the board of the Nonhuman Rights Project since its founding in 1996. Early years Jane Goodall was born in London, England, in 1934 to Mortimer Herbert Morris-Goodall, a businessman, and Margaret Myfanwe Joseph, a novelist who wrote under the name Vanne Morris-Goodall. As a child, she was given a lifelike chimpanzee toy named Jubilee by her father; her fondness for the toy started her early love of animals. Today, the toy still sits on her dresser in London. As she writes in her book, Reason for Hope: "My mother's friends were horrified by this toy, thinking it would frighten me and give me nightmares." Goodall has a sister, Judith, who shares the same birthday, though the two were born four years apart. Africa Goodall had always been passionate about animals and Africa, which brought her to the farm of a friend in the Kenya highlands in 1957.From there, she obtained work as a secretary, and acting on her friend's advice, she telephoned Louis Leakey, a Kenyan archaeologist and palaeontologist, with no other thought than to make an appointment to discuss animals.

A Big Surprise for Little Card by Charise Mericle Harper, illustrated by Anna Raff (Candlewick Press, 2016). ​ In the world of cards, each one has a special job to do. But is any card as lucky as Little Card? He's going to school to become a birthday card — in other words, to sing, play games, eat cake, and be happy all day long. Offbeat and utterly endearing, this tale of a little guy who gives it all he's got is complete with a sweet twist and a surprise ending.

Over 100 contests on wildlife protection including wildlife origami contests, quizzes and game shows have been successfully organised in 35 secondary schools. The conservation of Psychedelic Rock Gecko achieved certain results. The biodiversity survey in Bidoub Nui Ba National Park was also successfully conducted. WAR is grateful for the generous support from individuals and organisations for its wildlife conservation efforts. This What’s Up is dedicated to all WAR staff at Hon Me Wildlife Rescue Station who have been working tirelessly for wildlife protection. Your sincerely, Nguyen V u Khoi – WAR’s CEO These are some of hundreds of examples of wildlife origami created by over 150 children aged 12-15 years old at the Wildlife Protection Ceremony organized at Tan Binh District in March 16.

  • A Genome-Wide Survey of Genetic Variation in Gorillas Using Reduced Representation Sequencing
    1 A genome-wide survey of genetic variation in gorillas using reduced representation sequencing Aylwyn Scally1,2*, Bryndis Yngvadottir1,3*, Yali Xue1, Qasim Ayub1, Richard Durbin1, Chris Tyler- Smith1 *Equal contribution 1The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Wellcome Trust Genome Campus, Hinxton, Cambs.

To date, however, genetic studies within these species have largely been confined to mitochondrial DNA and a small number of other loci. Here, we present a genome-wide survey of genetic variation in gorillas using a reduced representation sequencing approach, focusing on the two lowland subspecies. We identify 3,274,491 polymorphic sites in 14 individuals: 12 western lowland gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) and 2 eastern lowland gorillas (Gorilla beringei graueri). We find that the two species are genetically distinct, based on levels of heterozygosity and patterns of allele sharing. Focusing on the western lowland population, we observe evidence for population substructure, and a deficit of rare genetic variants suggesting a recent episode of population contraction. In western lowland gorillas, there is an elevation of variation towards telomeres and centromeres on the chromosomal scale.
