How chimpanzee conservation boosts Uganda's rural economy and community

In this episode of the Green Earth Podcast, we welcome the project director of the Bulindi Chimpanzee Habitat Restoration Project and primatologist Dr Matt McLennan.

We talk about how this innovative initiative is not only safeguarding the natural habitat of chimpanzees living near rural communities but also enriching the lives of local residents through a holistic approach—encompassing educational support for children, extensive tree planting, economic development programmes, and the installation of water wells. Through this project, we are creating a sustainable future for both the chimpanzees and the people of Bulindi.
