Description:

In the New World Order, conservationism is one of the few tolerated forms of activism. Conservationists have coined the term 'simi' from Latin as a neutral word for 'ape' and are trying to get people to use it.

The term 'wasatuin' is the early Common word for ape, and has a very negative connotation. To avoid the negative tone of wasatuin that they think contributes to the hostility towards the conservation efforts for the world's few surviving wild and captive apes. They have achieved some moderate success.
