Fongoli Savanna Chimpanzee Project

We are a research group focused on West African chimpanzees living in a savanna mosaic environment at Fongoli, Senegal since 2001, with a focus on the behavioral ecology of apes in a semi-arid environment. We are associated with Neighbor Ape a 501c3 non-profit organization (US), which seeks to conserve the chimpanzees at Fongoli and to provide for the wellbeing of people that live alongside them. Our project Director is, Dr. Jill D. Pruetz, Professor of Anthropology, Texas State University, San Marcos, Texas, USA
