LOUISIANA…LEADING THE WAY
 TO THE PRESERVATION OF THE CHIMPANZEE

• Louisiana will lead the way in saving our closest living relative, chimpanzees,
  from extinction.

• Nothing inspires the average citizen’s interest in conservation like the potential extinction of a species.  The strategy of using a charismatic species like chimpanzees is a proven technique used as a means of inspiring the public to support broader conservation efforts.

• NCO is a green industry that will contribute to changing the nation’s view of our great State, Our New Louisiana.
• NCO will attract funds from conservation groups specifically interested in great apes and from broader conservation groups.
• Conservation involves everyone…from bird-watchers to agriculturalists to
  major industries.
