Forests need apes as much as the apes need the forests. They are
the gardeners of the forest - keystone species in the ecology of
African and Southeast Asian forests, dispersing seeds, creating
light gaps and pruning branch-tips whilst feeding. Their habitat
comprises two of the planet's three major tropical forest blocks
that are essential for global climate regulation. But the economic
pressures that are destroying ape habitats are much greater than
current available conservation finance. This unique case study from
the Kibale national park illustrates how biological research has
had diverse consequences for conservation. It examines effects on
habitat management, community relations, ecotourism and training.
Lessons learned from this project over the last 20 years will
inspire researchers and conservationists to work together to
promote biodiversity through field projects.
