And now to our NewsHour Shares, something that caught our eye.The video of a rescued chimpanzee's flight to wildlife sanctuary recently spread like wildfire on the Internet.The NewsHour's Julia Griffin tracked down the video's pilot and asked about his mission to save Africa's imperiled primates.It's a simple video that tugs at the heartstrings: A baby chimp bonds with, sleeps on, and even learns from the man flying him to a safer home.The pilot is Anthony Caere, Belgian aviator working for Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo.Since I was a little boy, I had two big wishes.And it was flying small planes and animals.And when I had the opportunity to work for Virunga National Park, I grabbed it with two hands.On a normal day, Caere is an eye in the sky, assisting rangers in anti-poaching patrols, wildlife censuses and other duties.But a few times a year, he ferries orphaned apes and monkeys 400 miles north to Lwiro Primate Rehabilitation Center.His passenger this time was Mussa, a 3-year-old chimpanzee recently rescued from poachers.It's actually a very sad story, because they took that little chimp away from his family.They killed his family.Poachers often sell slaughtered adult monkeys as bushmeat in local markets, but they prefer to peddle the baby animals as pets.
