    You'll see some familiar faces in this short documentary (2mins) from Nature called "The great ape program": https://youtu.be/IY_s-WVWiGw

    Description: As populations of chimpanzees dwindle in the wild, researchers from the Max Planck Institute for evolutionary anthropology are studying them before it's too late. Read the feature here: http://www.nature.com/news/2011/110817/full/476266a.html

    They've set up the 'Pan Africa Great Ape Program'. Using motion-sensitive cameras, they have collected video footage of the chimps in a national park in Liberia, which is already providing valuable insights into chimp behaviour. The project will eventually cover 15 African nations.
