How many chimps are left in the wild?
At the turn of the century, at least 1 or possibly closer to 2 million chimpanzees were in 25 countries across West and Central Africa. Now, they number about 150,000 in all of Africa. Habitat loss, bushmeat hunting and poaching for infants are the three major causes for the decline of chimpanzees in the wild.
