Guest guest Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 After a long battle with cancer, Stella Brewer Marsden has died. Stella and her father Eddie Brewer, then Chief of Wildlife of The Gambia, founded the first-ever chimpanzee rehabilitation program in 1969. The project maintains a web site at http://www.chimprehab.com/ Donations may be made in Stella's honor through this web site. The project has wonderful African caregivers. Bruno and Rene have each served over 30 years and Edrissa, also a poet and story-teller, over ten years. . In 1978 Stella (then Stella Brewer as she was single) wrote a book which was named " The Forest Dwellers " on one side of the Atlantic and " The Chimps of Mount Asserik " on the other. Used copies are available from www.amazon.com Stella leaves behind her husband David Marsden, two sons, and her sister Heather, also an animal-lover.
