Today it was imperative that I post, however, because I have great news to share!
On Friday the US Fish and Wildlife Service announced a long-awaited end to the split-listing of chimpanzees under the Endangered Species Act. You can read more about this on NAPSA's statement on the topic.
During the buzz before the announcement actually occurred, I was contacted by the New York Times for an interview. It was published online Friday, June 12th and in print on Saturday, June 13th.
It wasn't over yet...
Saturday afternoon CNN requested that I be interviewed live via Skype later that evening. I was able to gather some talking points, with the help of a few trusted advisors and coworkers, and am pleased to say that the interview went quite well! You can view it on CNN's website.
As a result, these stories have been shared throughout international media, which has led to some very interesting and humorous translation related mis-quotes.
Being so heavily involved in the progress for increased protections for nonhuman primates is a wonderful, wonderful thing and I am honored to be doing this.
