Learn about the secrets of ape society with Dr John Mitani
Join us for the second time on Talking Apes with John Mitani, a renowned primatologist with over three decades of experience studying chimpanzees in the wild. Known for his ground-breaking research and role as the scientific consultant for Netflix's "Chimp Empire," John shares his wealth of knowledge and incredible experiences from the forests of Kibale and beyond.
From discovering unusually large chimpanzee groups to observing intricate social dynamics, John’s journey is filled with fascinating tales. His work at Ngogo has unveiled the complexities of chimpanzee cooperation, politics, and hunting strategies, revealing behaviors that were once unimaginable.
'This was a giant chimpanzee group - well over 100 individuals - much larger than any other chimpanzee community observed previously.'
John explains how long-term observations have led to unexpected discoveries about chimpanzees, their life expectancy; and critical conservation issues, including snare removal efforts and the challenges posed by the global illegal trade in wild meat.
'Ecotourism is one success story. I'm absolutely convinced there would be no mountain gorillas left without it.'
Tune in to explore the secret lives of forest apes, the importance of long-term studies, and the urgent need for innovative conservation strategies.
