EDITORS COMMENTS
This copperplate engraving, created by Chevillet after an illustration by Jacques de Seve, showcases the expressive features and intricate detail of a chimpanzee, scientifically known as Pan troglodytes, named Le Jocko. The image is taken from Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon's esteemed work, "Histoire Naturelle," published by the Imprimerie Royale in Paris in 1766. The chimpanzee, our closest living relative in the animal kingdom, is depicted with a sense of intelligence and emotion that resonates with viewers even today. Sadly, the chimpanzee, like Le Jocko, is an endangered species. Once widespread across Africa, their populations have been decimated due to habitat loss, poaching, and human-wildlife conflict. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), there are now less than 300,000 chimpanzees left in the wild. This beautiful engraving serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving these remarkable primates and their habitats. The chimpanzee's distinctive physical characteristics, including their long arms, opposable thumbs, and complex social structures, have made them a subject of fascination for generations. Let us honor Le Jocko and his kin by taking action to protect their future and ensure the survival of this remarkable species.
