Questions related to The Monkey Thief

Hi Ms. Carrie!

We had a few questions we wanted to ask you. We know you have a lot of experience studying wildlife and their habitats, and we were hoping these questions would help us better understand our novel (The Monkey Thief). Thank you so much--we are loving the website and can't wait to hear more about your work!

1. In our novel The Monkey Thief, we have a problem in the rainforest with monkeys being stolen from the wild to use as pets. Do you have any similar problems in Tanzania?


2. In our novel, the main character (Steve) is trying to better understand monkeys by observing them. He tries to act normally around them so they get used to him being around. What kinds of animals have you observed, and how do you observe them?


3. In our story Steve’s uncle is trying to preserve part of the rainforest to have a habitat for the monkeys. Do you know of similar things being done in Tanzania to help monkeys (or other animals)? Are these successful?
