Ronan Donovan Instagram – In the coming days, I will be sharing images and stories from an article David Quammen (@davidquammen) and I worked on that’s printed in the current August issue of National Geographic Magazine (@natgeo) ⁣

Locked in a momentary standoff, a boy on his way to collect water meets the gaze of a wild male chimpanzee in the village of Mparangasi in western Uganda. Since our split from a shared ancestor some ~6 million years ago, humans and chimpanzees still share much in common: from diet to raising young to social structure to territoriality, to name a few. As a result, these commonalities have the potential to lead to competition when resources become scarce. In western Uganda, the hand of modern humans has steadily leveled the unprotected forests for timber and to clear land for agriculture. With nowhere to go and not enough wild foods to sustain them, wild chimps across western Uganda have turned to foraging in farmer’s fields for corn, mangos, sugarcane and jackfruit. ⁣
⁣
As humans continue their global expanse, converting wild lands to meet the needs of our growing population, this kind of scene will only increase until there are no wild lands outside of protected borders. But then what? Will the human lust for land and resources suddenly cease? What if we worked now to find solutions for a sustainable land-use system, not just for chimpanzees, but for humanity? ⁣
⁣
Luckily, people have dedicated their lives to finding solutions for these issues in western Uganda and beyond. I worked extensively and was guided by the work of Dr. Matthew McLennan and his late fiancé Jacqueline Rohen who started the NGO (@bulindichimps). The above photo was taken with McLennan and Rohen at my side in the village at the core of their work, Bulindi. Please consider donating to their work and learn more through their Instagram feed and the link in my bio. ⁣

Ronan Donovan Instagram – I took these photos last week as reptiles are becoming more active in spring’s warmth. They still like to be close to their hibernaculum hole since snowy days aren’t yet over. Who can name this North American snake? Swipe left for another clue. I’ll post the answer in the comments section soon… #reptiles #snake #wildlife @venuslaowa
