World Chimpanzee Day '22 - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

July 14th in ev'ry year
Celebrates World Chimpanzee Day,
A time for chimpanzees to cheer
That they have not been killed away
By humans doing this and that,
Causing deaths of chimpanzees with
Hunting and loss of habitat.
Extinction threat is more than myth.
Doing more conservation be
What humans can do to help save
The future for the chimpanzee,
To be more hopeful and less grave.

Chimpanzees can connect to you
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
