Heir to Jane Goodall, who passed away in 2025, Sabrina Krief is the world’s leading specialist on chimpanzees today. For nearly 30 years, she has been studying the lives of chimpanzees in Uganda. Her work has yielded a wealth of discoveries, particularly regarding how chimpanzees treat themselves using specific, carefully-selected plants. A closer examination of these plants reveals that they possess pharmacological properties for pain relief and molecules that fight malaria. A scientific and human adventure that reminds us how close chimpanzees are to us and how much they can teach us!
