A case study of improved cook stoves in primate conservation from Democratic Republic of Congo
Human communities living near nonhuman primate habitats often depend on wood from forests for their energy needs. Improving the efficiency of local cook stoves is a potential “win‐win” solution that is commonly promoted to protect forests and improve human health and development. Despite the popularity of improved stove projects in primate conservation, few outcomes have been formally published. As a result, it is currently unclear whether this a…
Human engagement and great ape conservation in Africa
Despite large investments of funding into great ape conservation in Africa, wild populations of gorillas ( Gorilla ssp), chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes ssp) and bonobos ( Pan paniscus ) continue to decline. Causes for this decline fall into three broad categories: habitat loss, illegal hunting, and disease. Contributing factors to all of these causes are linked to pressure from the expanding human population competing for forest resources. We have…
The evolution of conservation education and its role in saving apes in Africa
The current paradigm of conservation initiatives promotes activities that benefit conservation of wildlife while at the same time improving the welfare of humans living near wildlife habitats. This dual focus of conservation has resulted in an increase in activities that engage local communities. The past decade has seen a shift in how conservation practitioners define the role of conservation education. While once limited to a focus on increasin…
Education Program Evaluation at Multiple Primate Sanctuaries in Equatorial Africa
Discovering the unexpected
Evaluating for long‐term impact of an environmental education program at the Kalinzu Forest Reserve, Uganda
Although the importance of evaluating the effectiveness of conservation education programs cannot be underestimated, few evaluations of these programs and their resulting impact on the environment have been conducted. A partnership between scientists, educators, and local administrators on an evaluation program has been developed to evaluate a model of education program evaluation that includes short‐ and long‐term evaluation of (1) knowledge and…
