Only Teso legends understand this activity. Once we get the white ants , in the morning we go to trap Isurin , the most delicious small birds you can ever taste. At one time Teso had everything for human survival while preserving the environment. Today , we cry for lost nature.

Today, on World Chimpanzee Day, let's shine a spotlight on Uganda's remarkable chimpanzee population. These intelligent and social beings are an integral part of our natural heritage.

Let us remain committed to safeguarding their forests and ensuring their survival for generations to come.

NOTE: These are chimpanzees in the sanctuary and interacting with them is good for their own welfare.
