"Bob Cooper's artwork has done much to reveal the bond that we human beings share with chimpanzees. His sensitivity, insight and artistic prowess have brought to life the intelligence and gentle spirit of my favorite chimpanzee at Gombe: David Greybeard. From my travels around the world I've realized that there is a great army of industrious and hopeful individuals determined to create a better world for people and animals. Bob is among the best."

Letter to Paul Finnegan, Director of the Pacific Grove Natural History Museum, Pacific Grove, California from Dr, Jane Goodall, DBE Founder, Jane Goodall Institute &UN Messenger of Peace.

Dear Paul Finnegan,

My good friend Bob Cooper told me all about his show in your gallery. And, because I think his work is so beautiful, and gives such a strong and important message, I want to thank you so much for helping us all in this way. Helping, that is, Bob, the chimpanzees and other apes, and me. Art is a powerful tool for understanding the wonder of life forms in the world around us.
