The Jane Goodall Institute Africa Programs:


The goal of JGI’s Africa programs is to ensure the long-term protection of wild ape populations and their habitat in natural host countries in Africa, while preserving biodiversity, cultural traditions and livelihoods.

 

 

This target may be reached through research and training, capacity building, community development, and cooperative Community-Centered Conservation (CCC) measures designed to reduce trading of endangered species as bushmeat or pets, while preserving forest habitats and cultural livelihoods.

New Projects:

Central African World Heritage Forest Initiative (CAWHFI)
