What are the main threats to survival to the chimpanzee?
The main threat to chimpanzees in the wild are humans. Humans have created this significant threat by habitat loss, the hunting of adults for bushmeat, the capture of infants used to supply the local pet trade, the international biomedical trade, and the entertainment industry, as well as the lack of awareness and education to the public. The relative severity of these threats differs from region to region.
