"I wasn't thinking about saving chimps, we were just trying to help this little guy" Over 100 rescued chimpanzees and 27 years later Bala Amarasekaran - the founder and director of Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary - is the driving force behind Sierra Leone's national animal movement and the effort to create a conservation movement unlike any in West Africa.

For an extra special 20th episode, we join you live from Sierra Leone, as we enjoy a local beer and the magnificent "Salone" sunset while we chat with Bala.
