Working together

Henry Didier Camara, the Guinean research team lead of the Nimba Chimpanzee Project, exchanges with the local community in Seringbara about chimpanzee research and conservation. Chimpanzees in the Nimba Mountains (Guinea), and elsewhere in Africa, are endangered due to habitat encroachment, extractive industries, and illegal human activities. The Nimba Chimpanzee Project takes a holistic approach to conservation based on scientific research, capacity building, and community engagement. Protecting wild chimpanzees and their habitat requires close and sustained collaboration with the local communities.
