Sometimes you have to free yourself of what’s in the way

The largest chimp community, Ngogo had about 200 individuals living together peacefully for over 20 years. But over time, changes began to appear.

As we speak, about 24 individuals have been lost, including 17 infants and 7 males. This reflects early human-like conflict patterns, especially linked to territory.

The very first observed fight, recorded to happen once every 500 years. This is history!

30 years of conservation and research in Uganda made this discovery possible.

Kibale National Park isn't just where this story is unfolding ; it's where decades of habitat protection gave scientists the access to understand chimpanzee societies like never before.

That's the real headline.

Here we show that mountain gorilla groups in different parts of Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park eat strikingly different diets but the nutritional quality of their key foods is surprisingly similar. @SavingGorillas
