Tales from the monkey paradise
Sheila Siddle's life changed forever one fateful day in 1983 when a local game ranger brought a badly injured baby chimpanzee to her cattle ranch in northern Zambia and asked her to do everything she could to save it. Sheila and her husband nursed the animal day and night, treating the young chimpanzee, whom they named Pal, like a child, giving him medicine and bottled milk, sharing his bed at night and carrying him on their backs until he had the strength to survive on his own.
From these humble beginnings, Sheila and David Siddle founded the Chimfunshi Wildlife Orphanage, which is now one of the largest sanctuaries for chimpanzees and is home to more than 150 chimpanzees. But they also took in other animals and gave them a home - like Billy the hippopotamus.
"Ein Garten voller Schimpansen" is the inspiring journey of a woman who has dedicated her life to protecting chimpanzees in Africa and the chimpanzees that have become part of her family.
