Credit to @bulindichimps : Meet GERALD, a calm and intelligent young male of the Bulindi community in Hoima, Uganda. The Bulindi Chimpanzee & Community Project is uniquely dedicated to conserving chimpanzees living in unprotected habitat. In Hoima around 300 chimps, in at least 10 resident communities, survive on village land having seen most of their forest home cut down for timber and farming. We are currently working in the ranges of 5 of these chimp communities, monitoring the chimps on a daily basis, planting trees, and helping people find ways to coexist with their chimpanzee neighbours. Hoima's chimpanzees face a myriad of human-driven threats. We are constantly amazed not only at their resilience and resourcefulness in such difficult conditions, but also their dignity. #WorldChimpanzeeDay #GreatApes #Conservation #WildChimpanzee #SaveChimps #SaveBulindiChimps To help us continue helping Hoima's chimpanzee, please visit: https://friendsofchimps.org/bulindi/ [LINK IN PROFILE] . . .
