Chimpanzee enhancement programme
Project Details
| Name | Chimpanzee enhancement programme |
| Description | Bwindi has an estimated population of around 300 chimpanzees. These chimpanzees face the same threats as the Mountain Gorillas: habitat loss, communicable diseases and poaching/trafficking of the babies. Although today the world is all too fully aware of the impacts of pandemics and cross-species transmission of viruses, our work around Bwindi has taken this into account since 2016. The work of the Margaret Pyke Trust at Bwindi Community Hospital focuses on all three of the risk factors, by implementing our USHAPE family planning training programme and providing clinical outreach, and by including education on communicable diseases and poaching. |
