Observing mountain chimpanzees

Local research team members of the Nimba Chimpanzee Project (Gnan Mamy, Yon Zogbila, Nema Guêmy, Cé Samy) engaged in a direct observation of wild chimpanzees in the Nimba Mountains, Guinea (West Africa). The Nimba chimpanzees live in an extremely rugged and mountainous place and finding them can be a real challenge. Hence, it is all the more rewarding when the team gets to observe these elusive apes. The Nimba Chimpanzee Project was established in 2003 and the research team works tirelessly to study and protect these critically endangered chimpanzees and their habitat.
