Volcanoes Safaris’ new Chimpanzee Project in Adventure Travel News

Volcanoes Safaris’ new Chimpanzee Project in Adventure Travel News

Volcanoes Safaris’ new Chimpanzee Project has been featured in Adventure Travel News.

“The launch of the new Volcanoes Safaris Partnership Trust chimpanzee monitoring project in Kyambura Gorge is a wonderful day for chimpanzee conservation in Uganda.

This small group of threatened chimps will have a team monitoring their behaviour and protecting their habitat. This project is aligned with the Uganda’s 10-year National Chimpanzee Conservation Strategy launched in 2023.

VSPT will be training UWA rangers in chimpanzee identification and monitoring. We are happy to be working in partnership with VSPT on the project.” — Charles Tumwesigye, Commissioner Field Operations, Uganda Wildlife Authority
