Chimpanzees can talk??!!
The planet of the apes is here!
Research shows chimpanzees communicate using 66 distinct signs and vocalizations
What looks like chaos in the forest,
is actually a language spoken by 300k global citizens.
Are we listening?

Muhororo, Kagadi in Uganda once faced a difficult reality: children killed, people injured in human–chimpanzee conflict.
Today, those incidents are declining.
What changed?
No fences, No eliminating wildlife
✅ UWA support, and communities leading coexistence efforts

Mountain Gorillas are recovering, yet still at risk.
That contradiction is the real story.
Is this a conservation success story,
or a fragile recovery?

Chimpanzees more intelligent than humans??
They can recall complex patterns in milliseconds—outperforming us in rapid memory.
Evolution didn’t make us smarter. It made us different.

The war has reached us!
As forests shrink, human–chimpanzee conflict is rising, with significant losses on both sides.
Credit to Uganda Wildlife Authority for an effective response.
But more is needed: leadership focused on addressing forest loss, not rhetoric.

We are quietly eating chimpanzees & gorillas to extinction.
Bushmeat consumption is ~4–6 M tonnes/year.
Across sampled bushmeat markets, apes appear in ~0.25% of recorded observations and much of this trade is hidden.
So how do we measure what we can’t see?

@SilverBirungi If by “tricks,” you mean how the trade operates, that’s exactly the point.
Much of it is informal, concealed, and underreported.

Chimpanzees use insects as medicine.
Yes—medicine!
A 2025 study in Uganda's Kibale National Park shows chimps catching insects, crushing them, and applying them to wounds.
Nature’s pharmacists in action. 🌿
