Chimpanzees ( Pan Troglodytes Verus ) and Ful Ɓe Pastoralists Predicting conflict over scarce resources: Chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes verus ) and Ful ɓe pastoralists by Brooke E. Massa Dr. Jennifer Swenson, Advisor May 2011 Masters project submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Environmental Management degree in the Nicholas School of the Environment of Duke University 2011 MP Advisor's signature Cover photo: A pruned Khaya senegalensis tree stands, surrounded by its cut branches. Also known as African mahogany , the tree is prized not only for the fodder it provides, but also as a strong wood, often used to craft farming tools. Khaya senegalensis is considered a vulnerable species by the IUCN and is protected by several West African governments. 2 Abstract The western chimpanzee ( Pan troglodytes verus ) is considered the most endangered subspecies of chimpanzee. The populations living at the furthest extent of its range, in southern Senegal – a country situated directly south of the Sahara Desert - are considered to be nearly extinct. These ‘savanna chimpanzees’ have adapted to living in an arid environment and are now facing more threats to their survival as climate change and deforestation have forced nomadic pastoralists further into their habitat in search of fodder and water. Combining field-collected data on both chimpanzee and pastoralist habitat use with GIS and remote sensing data, I spatially predicted areas of potential habitat conflict among chimpanzees and pastoralists. Using species distribution modeling, I found that large swaths of forested habitat in Bandafassi are predicted to be used by nomadic pastoralists. Their presence is expected in 86 percent of the land which is predicted to be used by chimpanzees. Statistical modeling using the Dirichlet distribution predicted overuse of gallery forests by herders. Since herders remove most of the crowns of 9 species of trees, 7 of which provide important resources for chimpanzees, the impact of herders on chimpanzee resources is likely detrimental. Strategies to protect chimpanzee habitat and increase resources for herders should be considered in community-based conservation projects. 3 Acknowledgements Thank you to the Republic of Senegal and the communities of Bandafassi, Indar, and Etiouar for allowing me to conduct research in their forests. I wish to thank all of those who helped me with my project: first, my advisor, Dr. Jennifer Swenson for her endless patience with my project and supportive inestimable guidance in geospatial analysis and remote sensing; secondly, Dr. Jill Pruetz for giving me a focus for my research and guiding me to Bandafassi; thirdly, Dr. Song Qian for his thoughtful analysis of my research question and data; and lastly, but certainly not least, Soumalaye Gilbert Camara for his invaluable expertise and guidance in the field. Without any one of these people, my project would not have materialized. Also, thanks go to Brittney Baker and Taryn Thompson for contributing work to the Dirichlet model; and John Fay and Mariano Gonzalez Roglich for helping me figure out some issues in ArcGIS. Thanks and love also go to my wonderful family and friends - especially Amidou Keita, Michele Lehman, and Ouseman Kante for keeping me company when I wasn’t in the field (and for helping me get to Kedougou in the first place!!). And, lastly, to my love Derwin Dubose, thank you for all of your encouragement and support. The research was generously funded by The David R. Brower Endowment Fund, Student International Discussion Group – Lazar Foundation, and the Nicholas School International Internship Fund; I thank you for your support. 4 Table of Contents Abstract ......................................................................................................................................................... 3 Acknowledgements ....................................................................................................................................... 4 Table of Figures ............................................................................................................................................. 6 Abbreviations ................................................................................................................................................ 7 Introduction .................................................................................................................................................. 9 Importance and History of Chimpanzee Conservation ............................................................................. 9 Background on Community-based Conservation ................................................................................... 14 Community-based Conservation Work in Africa Today .......................................................................... 18 Chimpanzee Conservation in Senegal ..................................................................................................... 20 Methods ...................................................................................................................................................... 29 Site Description ....................................................................................................................................... 29 Data ......................................................................................................................................................... 32 Data Collection ........................................................................................................................................ 32 Geospatial Analysis: Species Distribution Modeling ............................................................................... 37 Point Occurrences ............................................................................................................................... 37 Environmental Predictors ................................................................................................................... 38 Statistical Analysis of Habitat Use ........................................................................................................... 43 Results ......................................................................................................................................................... 45 Which species of trees are the herders using for fodder?

POVAR, CONSULTING EDITOR ELVA MATHIESEN, ASSISTANT EDITOR ALLAN M. SCHRIER, FOUNDING EDITOR, 1962-1987 Published Quarterly by the Schrier Research Laboratory Psychology Department, Brown University Providence, Rhode Island ISSN 0023-6861 POLICY STATEMENT The Laboratory Primate Newsletter provides a central source of information about nonhuman primates and re- lated matters to scientists who use these animals in their research and those whose work supports such research. The Newsletter (1) provides information on care and breeding of nonhuman primates for laboratory research, (2) dis- seminates general information and news about the world of primate research (such as announcements of meetings, research projects, sources of information, nomenclature changes), (3) helps meet the special research needs of indi- vidual investigators by publishing requests for research material or for information related to specific research prob- lems, and (4) serves the cause of conservation of nonhuman primates by publishing information on that topic. As a rule, research articles or summaries accepted for the Newsletter have some practical implications or provide general information likely to be of interest to investigators in a variety of areas of primate research. However, special consid- eration will be given to articles containing data on primates not conveniently publishable elsewhere. General descrip- tions of current research projects on primates will also be welcome. The Newsletter appears quarterly and is intended primarily for persons doing research with nonhuman primates. Back issues may be purchased for $5.00 each.

It is located in the Region of Tambacounda, in the Département of Kedougou, in Eastern Senegal, near the boarder between Senegal, Mali and Guinea. It corresponds to about half the Arrondissement of Bandafassi. The Bandafassi area is about 25 km long by 25 km large and total 600 sq km. It belongs to the Sudan savanna ecological zone. The climate is characterized by two seasons, a rainy season, from June to October, and a dry season, from November to May, with average rainfall of 1,097 mm per year during the period 1984-1995. The Bandafassi area is about 500 km distant from the capital Dakar.
