Goualougo Triangle Ape Project
Studying an Untouched Ecosystem
In a remote region of the Republic of Congo, researchers are conducting groundbreaking research into how gorillas and chimpanzees live alongside one another in one of the most pristine landscapes on earth. The Goualougo Triangle is home to forest elephants, chimpanzees and western lowland gorillas, many of which have never come into contact with humans. By studying ape behavior, tool-use and the impact of logging on these endangered animals, scientists David Morgan (Lincoln Park Zoo) and Crickette Sanz are collecting data that will advance ape conservation throughout Africa.
