Home Actor Ronan Donovan HD Instagram Photos and Wallpapers August 2020 Ronan Donovan Instagram - In response to the overwhelmingly heartfelt comments in regards to yesterday’s somber repost from @michaelnicknichols 1989 photo of the captive chimp, Jo Jo - I decided to provide some current information in regards to lab tests on chimpanzees in the US today. I will also add some more information in my IG story with links to recent articles. ⁣ Overall, the status of laboratory testing in the US is positive in terms of an ethical and human standpoint. From the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service website:⁣ In 2015, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Director Dan Ashe today announced a final rule to classify all chimpanzees, both wild and captive, as endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The rule uplists captive chimpanzees from threatened status to match that of wild chimpanzees and removes them from a special rule for primates that allowed some activities otherwise prohibited under the ESA.⁣ ⁣ “Extending captive chimpanzees the protections afforded their endangered cousins in the wild will ensure humane treatment and restrict commercial activities under the Endangered Species Act,” Ashe said. “The decision responds to growing threats to the species and aligns the chimpanzee’s status with existing legal requirements. Meanwhile, we will continue to work with range states to ensure the continued survival and recovery of chimpanzees in the wild.”⁣ ⁣ Learn more through my IG story and further at @nonhuman.rights.project feed Planet Earth

Ronan Donovan Instagram – Another quiet moment between Mususu and her son, Moon. At the time I took this photo, Mususu would have been ~40 years old and Moon was her 4th baby. Mususu was a northern female and I didn’t see her very much. She was shy. Within this wild chimpanzee community that I followed as a researcher in 2011, there were specific sub-groups of females that preferred to keep to a region within community’s territory. Some to the north or to the south and some kept to the center of the territory.  
 
While the total number of chimpanzees in this community was 58 at the time, never in the history of the 40 year study did this group have all 58 members been the same place. Like humans, elephants, bats, and some whale species (to name a few), chimps are a fission-fusion society. Essentially this means that the social structure of chimps is dynamic. A large group of 30 comes together to feed on ripe figs, lets say, while other smaller groups of 4-8 chimps are a few miles away feeding on something else.⁣⁣ It makes for very interesting days following chimps through their equatorial forest, you never know who will show up.

Ronan Donovan Instagram – Are those species most similar to humans fated for a future of strife amidst the modern world? Every great ape alive today has lost the majority of its habitat since the Industrial Age.

As I’ve been posting images and stories from my article with @davidquammen in the current issue of @natgeo magazine, consider these foundational images from @michaelnicknichols work from the late 1980s and 90s. ⁣
⁣
I remember @michaelnicknichols images of chimps in the midst of a vivisection procedure from the March 1992 cover story of National Geographic Magazine. I was 9 at the time and enthralled with the story: Apes and Humans – A Curious Kinship. @michaelnicknichols continued his work and published a book in 2005 under the original title: Brutal Kinship (published by Aperture).

Reposted from @michaelnicknichols // His name was Jo Jo, as a baby he was first used by humans to study how he did with sign language. I think he reached the proficiency equivalent to 3 year old human baby. The language study only had two years of funding so he ended up in the suburbs of NYC being tested for an HIV vaccine. ⁣
He would be given a shot of vaccine than challenged with a massive dose of HIV. ⁣
He did fine … for awhile, maybe even months or years. ⁣
⁣
Then he up and died of massive organ failure⁣
⁣
When I saw him. From behind bars he was signing to the stranger “OUT”⁣
Repeating over and over “OUT”⁣
