Happy #WorldChimpanzeeDay Interesting fact: #Chimpanzees 🦍😻 are seed dispersers in #Congo 🇨🇩🌳 and kicked off rainforest growth 2000 years ago. Now they face #extinction from #mining, #cocoa #palmoil #deforestation. Help them survive! #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife https://palmoildetectives.com/2022/07/03/chimpanzees-once-helped-african-rainforests-recover-from-a-major-collapse/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=Palm+Oil+Detectives&utm_campaign=publer

Chimpanzees once helped African rainforests recover from collapse Palm Oil Detectives

Most people probably think that the rainforest of central and west Africa, the second largest in the world, has been around for millions of years. However recent research suggests that it is mostly just 2,000 or so years old. The forest reached roughly its modern state following five centuries of regeneration after it was massively fragmented when the dry season suddenly became longer some 2,500 years ago.
