Jane always says everything is connected. With a powerful coalition — experts, luminaries, educators, mentors, supporters, and youth — and an energized and effective strategy, we’re realizing our collective dream of a thriving future for chimpanzees, other wildlife, and our planet. This report reflects the rewards of investment in local communities over the history of our Africa Programs, but is also a window into the future of our transition into even more high-impact species conservation.

Holistic approaches for a thriving ecosystem: Determination while improving human well-being.

The musical will tour the United States in 2019.

A SAFE HAVEN FOR SECOND CHANCES

JGI’s Tchimpounga Chimpanzee Rehabilitation Center provides a safe haven and second chances for rescued chimpanzees, many of whom are only infants when they arrive. Most of the chimpanzees have witnessed the death of their mothers at the hands of poachers; we rescue others from crisis situations stemming from the illegal bushmeat and pet trades. They all come to us frightened and traumatized, often injured and unwell — and are immediately embraced by the care and support of our dedicated caregivers.

Yoko is a perfect example of a chimpanzee that has defied expectations: he was kept in isolation for a long time because of his shyness.

Yoko has two close companions: Silaho and Luc. The trio plays together regularly. Luc is smaller than With her gentle manner Lounama is a favorite of our JGI caregivers.

“I was born in the city of Pointe-Noire in Congo. I am 54 years old, and I’ve worked at Tchimpounga since 1998. As a mother myself, I already knew how to treat a baby, and I treated them like my children — I see that these chimpanzee babies are very similar to human babies. What I do is very important. I love my work and the animals. If someone kills a chimpanzee, it is as if he killed a person. We must protect them.” “I was hired in 1994 to care for and rehabilitate Antonette Makosso, caregiver chimpanzee babies who are victims of hunters in Tchimpounga. When the babies first arrive, I sleep with them because they are sad and need love. I make sure that the baby does not have a fever or similar issues upon arrival and can explain the overall health to the veterinary team if treatment and follow up is needed. We must protect chimpanzees across the whole world because we are so similar to them.” Chantal Bataio, caregiver

EDUCATION SUCCESS STORY: “Be assured that our Super Kodo individual actions, collectively, make a huge difference.” Dr. Jane Goodall

The Super Kodo television program is one element of JGI’s environmental education program. Designed to build awareness around environmental issues in the Republic of Congo and other fran- cophone countries in Africa, activities include writing, filming, and distributing episodes and leading environmental education activities for local schoolchildren. We sponsor school fees for all young actors working on Super Kodo. The program’s reach is strong: three Super Kodo broadcast episodes found an audience of 1,000,000 residents in and around the city of Pointe-Noire.

UPDATE: We found new evidence of chimpanzee presence north of Gombe through Tanzania groundbreaking research, looked for ways to reduce habitat destruction, and supported the education of girls and women to ensure a better future for humans, animals, and wildlife in Western Tanzania.

Evidence to inform next steps: To better un- derstand connectivity between chimpanzees in Gombe National Park and populations north of the park, we launched a multi-faceted project with funding from a National Science Founda- tion Grant. In collaboration with the National Science Foundation, Tanzania Wildlife Institute, Tanzania National Parks, Tanzania Commission for Science and Technology, and researchers from U.S.-based universities, research included a 60-day, on the ground survey to systematically search and record evidence of chimpanzee pres- ence north of Gombe National Park informed by high-resolution satellite imagery, drones, and chimpanzee habitat suitability modeling.

The Albertine Rift is vital to many endangered species, including chimpanzees — and is also critically threatened by climate change and increasing natural resource usage by growing human populations. In many of the region’s communities, the need to convert riverine forest systems to farmland is rising “There are several in parallel to human populations’ need for food and income. Ninety-eight percent of communities in communities where the area rely on agriculture as their primary livelihood option, with 79 percent of the economic activity JGI is working with the being subsistence agriculture. people. The situation is Almost 600,000 trees planted: Thanks to collaborative research from the Africa Biodiversity improving everywhere Collaborative Group (of which JGI is a part), and particularly a recent evaluation to link freshwater conservation and water, sanitation, and hygiene (FW-WASH) along with community insights, JGI and more forest is being developed plans with communities to manage forests, grow livelihood opportunities, and protect protected.” watersheds. This knowledge allowed JGI to work hand in hand with local people to replant degraded Dr. Jane Goodall forests and sustain previously restored areas through land use planning and community forest monitoring. The project is known as Conserving Regional Forests & Waterways in Western Uganda through Sustainable Resource Management and Livelihoods project. The final number of trees planted was an astounding 592,354. Nearly 1,500 households in 11 target villages benefitted from this project. Replanting trees helped reestablish healthy watersheds and ecosystems to ensure a more reliable supply of water for both wildlife and human communities in the area. By mitigating the risk of a water supply crisis, the opportunity allowed communities to engage in conservation strategies that will better protect their interests in the long term.

Kibale is a vital chimpanzee region. However, there are many threats to its populations including illegal bushmeat hunting and trade, disease, habitat loss, and human encroachment.

SUCCESS STORY: Kibale National Park is a crucial chimpanzee Forest region under multiple increasing threats in Watcher Uganda: illegal bushmeat hunting, disease, and Impact habitat loss from human encroachment and conversion of forests to logging or farmland. While the threats are on the rise, we’ve found a way to more effectively seek out, locate, and stop these threats by giving people the tools to access alerts detected from space and navigate to those alerts on the ground.

Potential threats identified: The large size of JGI staff discuss insights gathered through near real-time reporting the park (79,500 hectares, similar to the size of tools on mobile devices through the Forest Watcher app. New York City) makes it difficult for rangers to Photo: JGI/Brenda Mirembe patrol all areas.

New Forest Watcher mobile app enables offline forest monitoring and alert systems.

Developed in collaboration with JGI, WRI, Google Earth Outreach, and Global Forest Watch, the Forest Watcher mobile app brings forest monitoring and alert systems to more people in more places with a more efficient range of tools. The app delivers dynamic weekly tree cover loss alerts at an amazing 30-meter resolution, along with other online forest monitoring and alert systems of Global Forest Watch, offline and in the field.
