Limited to 100 hand-numbered copies, exclusively printed for The Datai Pledge, each book features gold-foil stamping, a signed print, and bespoke handwoven bamboo band depicting the buah ara or wild figs which these primates love to eat, all printed on recycled paper with a foreword by Dr Jane Goodall.
