It's the bond between mother and child, which is really for us and for chimps and other primates, the root of all the expressions of social behavior.

Even chimps understand the concept - if a troop of chimps enters a fruit tree, they will only pick the fruits that are ripe and leave the others growing. That is sustainability.
