Chimpanzee Futures in a Crowded World: Lessons from Western Uganda (2013)

Presentation by Richard Wrangham and Elizabeth Ross

Uganda’s Kibale National Park, one of Africa’s most important biodiversity hotspots, has an expansive rainforest that provides home to over 1,000 chimpanzees and other wildlife that face an uncertain future. Recognizing the inseparable link between environmental and human prosperity, Harvard‘s Richard Wrangham and Elizabeth Ross have devoted 25 years to help ensure the future of Kibale, its exotic wildlife, and the people of its surrounding region—a population that has grown seven-fold in recent years.
