Research in the Dja Faunal Reserve in Cameroon
This project takes an inclusive, multi-disciplinary approach, working with, for example, local people, logging companies, research institutes and zoos. Such an approach should facilitate further community-based conservation action after the project is completed. They aim to discover:
- The population status of chimpanzees and gorillas in the study area.
- How chimpanzees and gorillas which live in the same area interact.
- The capacity of unprotected forests to support great ape species.
- The implications of humans working and living in increasingly close proximity to other great apes.
- The final goal will be the creation of a Communal Wildlife Zone which will benefit both people and wildlife.
