Unlike humans, who came down from the trees and developed bipedal
locomotion, chimpanzees have remained in the original habitat of
our ancestors: the tropical rainforests of Africa.
In this book, Vernon Reynolds describes in detail the work of a
large number of students and senior researchers on the wild
chimpanzees of the Budongo Forest Reserve in Western Uganda. He
presents a coherent and in-depth account of one chimpanzee
community of more than 60 individuals living in the Sonso area in
the middle of the Budongo Forest, which he and his colleagues have
studied intensively over the last 15 years. The chimpanzees have
never been provisioned and live in an entirely natural state.
Reynolds describes their forest habitat, their diet and culture,
their social organization and behavior, their diseases, and the
threats to them that derive from the actions of people in the
surrounding villages, the most serious of these being the presence
of snares set by hunters to catch small antelopes and pigs.
As founder and head of the Budongo Forest Project, Professor
Reynolds has been responsible for compiling the numerous
publications, reports, and dissertations written about these
chimpanzees. In this book, he combines these new and often
unpublished studies with past publications about Budongo Forest.
Where appropriate, he also compares the Budongo chimpanzees with
wild chimpanzees studied at other sites across Africa. The result
is the most comprehensive account of the Budongo chimpanzees ever
published, with a wealth of referenced material that will serve as
a source of information for many years to come.
