Rosa was an interesting female because she never left her natal community of wild chimpanzees. In order to maintain genetic diversity, the females will leave their family at puberty and go find another community of chimps where they'll live out the rest of their lives. ⁣ ⁣ I find it so fascinating that in such a social and bonded species like chimps that after 16 years the females will never see their family every again. It's one of the least studied behaviors in wild chimps because it would require numerous neighboring communities of chimpanzees to be habituated/studied, which doesn't exist yet. ⁣ ⁣ Learn more about chimps in the current issue of @natgeo magazine, through my posts here and by following the conservation NGO @bulindichimps⁣ .⁣⁣ .⁣⁣ .⁣⁣ .⁣⁣ .⁣⁣ #chimpanzee #chimp #chimpanzees #chimps #ape #wildlife #conservation #animals #africa #uganda #wildlifephotography #nature #natgeo⁣

Ronan Donovan Instagram – Text below by @davidquammen from our article in the current issue of National Geographic Magazine @natgeo. This article puts spotlight on a troubling theme across western Uganda where humans and chimpanzees are in competition for resources. ⁣
⁣
For more than three years after the trauma of her son’s abduction, Ntegeka Semata and her husband, Omuhereza Semata, a farmer, continued to live in their house. They built a bamboo fence around their tiny backyard, enclosing the cooking shed in what they hoped would be a safe zone for the family. “I am scared all the time that other chimpanzees might come back,” Ntegeka said in that earlier interview.⁣
⁣
But the fence was flimsy, the chimps kept returning, and the Sematas felt under siege. Ntegeka couldn’t work in the garden. The children were sometimes too afraid to eat. Even their goat made piteous noises of fear. By the end of 2017, their house was vacant, with a broken window above the front door. The Sematas had fled and were living a marginalized existence in a rented room at a compound three miles away. They owned no farming land there. “I feel like we’ve been cast back into poverty,” she said.⁣
Meanwhile the remaining windows of their old house reflected only the faces of chimpanzees, which visited regularly, glowering in, confused and provoked by the chimp images mirrored there, which seemed to be glowering out.⁣

Ronan Donovan Instagram – Reposting another of @michaelnicknichols emotional images related to his powerful body of work related to apes and humans. This is among Nichols’s most iconic images depicting a beautiful moment between @janegoodallinst and a captive chimpanzee. ⁣
⁣
@michaelnicknichols Jane first went to the Brazzville Zoo to see Gregoire in 1990, to check on the old hairless half blind chimp who had been caged since 1945. She encountered the much younger Jou Jou angry and throwing his own feces at visitors.⁣
We would go back in 1994 to essentially rescue Gregoire, going into his cage after the door which had rusted shut was pried open. We went inside and the old man started “clicking” his lips with excitement. It may have been his first physical contact. Jane wore two shirts so he could un-button the first.⁣
Gregoire would live out his live in a sanctuary with the company of young chimpanzees ⁣
