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…
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…
Differential use of attentional and visual communicative signaling by orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus) and gorillas (Gorilla gorilla) in response to the attentional status of a human
In this study we investigated the communicative abilities of 10 orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus) and seven western lowland gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla), and particularly focused on their sensitivity to the attentional state of a human experimenter when choosing from a repertoire of both auditory and visual communication strategies. In experiment 1 a banana was placed in front of the subject's cage and a human experimenter was either present or a…
