All humans need do is leave them alone and stop destroying their natural habitat.

Humans and chimps live in different habitats, preventing humans from destroying a chimps forest is to prevent them from living their. IE you have to give the chimps rights to their land in stead of humans.

That's not quite so. You could also throw in money to buy a set of land that will be used for chimps only. The rights would belong to the people owning the land, but the chimps would be left alone.

If you do this then you are selling land to humans and respecting human property rights. I am under the impression that Goodall wants governments to provide this land which is an entirely different animal (PI).
