Among African Apes

African great apes—chimpanzees, bonobos, and gorillas—demonstrate remarkable intelligence through complex social behaviors, hunting strategies, and interactions, as revealed by decades of field research across sites like Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (Uganda), Ivindo National Park (Gabon), and Taï National Park (Côte d’Ivoire). The book Among African Apes compiles firsthand accounts from veteran researchers, highlighting groundbreaking discoveries in primatology while addressing critical threats such as poaching, disease, and habitat loss. It also explores conservation successes, including ecotourism, that offer hope for the survival of these endangered species.
