Photographer Dan Kitwood visited the Chimpanzee Conservation Center in Guinea last year. This center is a 6,000 square kilometers protected area, on the territory of which there is a rehabilitation center for baby monkeys. People who are not indifferent to the fate of these animals work here. Now there are 50 animals under the supervision of the center.
On one of the islands belonging to the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire, 30 years ago, a group of 20 chimpanzees were sent to participate in laboratory research. Since then, only one has survived - and after several years of loneliness, this year he finally met people unfamiliar to him, as the most dear creatures on the planet. Read about it in our article " With hope in my eyes."

Earthly Paradise in the Middle of the Indian Ocean: How the Island of Socotra looks like a scenery for a fairy tale
Socotra is a Yemeni-owned island located in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Somalia. It is one of the most isolated islands of continental (non-volcanic) origin. Many millions of years ago, it broke away from the mainland, and this event preserved the unique nature of the island. Its flora and fauna turned out to be, as it were, "conserved" from any external influence. The island does not look like a fragment of the earth's land, but like a fragment of another planet. Everything seen there often does not resemble at all
How Soviet soldiers survived, who were carried into the ocean for 49 days, and How they were met in the USA and the USSR after they were rescued
In the early spring of 1960, the crew of the American aircraft carrier Kearsarge discovered a small barge in the middle of the ocean. On board were four emaciated Soviet soldiers. They survived by feeding on leather belts, tarpaulin boots and industrial water. But even after 49 days of extreme drift, the soldiers told the American sailors who found them something like this: help us only with fuel and food, and we will get home ourselves
How the superpowers rescued their agents, and why the German bridge was nicknamed "spy"
Prisoner-of-war exchanges are phenomena with deep historical roots that are frequently practiced in international relations. In the 20th century, open armed confrontations were increasingly replaced by secret intelligence operations. It was then that the tradition of exchanging "failed" agents was born.

How the rhino was examined and rescued: behind the scenes of veterinary life
In the Chicago zoo, a nuisance happened: Laila's rhinoceros began to feel bad. It was hard for her to breathe, and she behaved sluggishly and inactive. The zoo workers decided that the eight-year-old "baby" weighing a ton needed help and called in their in-house veterinarians, but they were clearly not enough. It took a total of 40 people to transport such a large and heavy animal
Where they dug clay, where they baked the royal bread, and where they planted gardens: What the center of Moscow looked like in the Middle Ages
Walking around the center of Moscow, it is interesting to think about what was in this or that place in the Middle Ages. And if you know the true history of a particular area or street and imagine who and how lived here several centuries ago, the names of the areas and the whole view are perceived in a completely different way. And you already look at the Moscow center with completely different eyes
