When Professor Bernhard Grzimek engaged in his first projects in Africa in aid of its threatened species, he already constantly emphasised that the aim was also to support an impoverished population. The Frankfurt Zoological Society, founded by Grzimek, extended its activities to Asia, where the protection of the species also stands and falls with the living standard of the indigenous population. As long as there is a market in Vietnam for dead monkeys, there will always be hunters who venture forth into the most remote jungles.Meanwhile, however, Grzimek's heirs are in operation here, as in the Philippines and in Indonesia. They are the resolute guardians of such magnificent wild animals as the langurs of Vietnam, the writhed-billed hornbills on the Philippine island Panay or the orang-utans on Sumatra.
