Question 1:
What is the binomial name of the animal for which the FVGP provides sanctuary and rehabilitation? Answer: Gorilla gorilla gorilla.

We need to find out what the heck is FVGP. Putting FVGP into Google, out comes the The Fernan-Vaz Gorilla Project. It's a organization that shows gorillas in their wild state to tourists for a fee. The fees pay to protect them from the bush meat trade, etc. Look up gorilla in Wikipedia or try The Macaulay Library's Online Archive of Biodiversity Media at Cornell University and get the binomial name for the gorilla that way.

Question 2:
What is the birth name of the man interviewed by the chairman and CEO of OWN in the debut episode of "Next Chapter?” Answer: Steven Victor Tallarico.

Question 3:

Question 1:
The north end of what footbridge is very near the magnificent baroque cathedral that is famous for the dome added by restorer Christopher Wren? Answer: Millennium Bridge.

baroque cathedral and Christopher Wren. That will get St. Paul's Cathedral in the City of London. Replace the previous search with St. Paul Cathedral footbridge. Several articles on the Millennium Bridge.

Question 2:
What is the birth name of the man interviewed by the chairman and CEO of OWN in the debut episode of "Next Chapter?”  Answer: Steven Victor Tallarico.

OWN is the Oprah Winfrey Network, operated by Oprah Winfrey. Her television show was called Next Chapter. next chapter oprah debut is which you want to put in the search field. In oprah.com there is an article describing her show's premiere with Aerosmith's Steven Tyler. That was considered the wrong answer, though I double checked it using the Library of Congress. Under LC Name Authority File rules his stage name supersedes his legal one(like Mark Twain supersedes Samuel Clemens), but Google was being an asshole. I had asked for the first letters on this one, went to Wikipedia to answer the rest. 

Question 3:

Amasa Coleman Lee was the father of author Harper Lee. harper lee mockingbird friend based and the fourth result from biography.com yields the name Truman Capote.
