Objectif général
The purpose of this project is to support conservation of the critically endangered western lowland gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) in Loango National Park in Gabon by facilitating research and tourism activities. It addresses the impacts of poaching and illegal activities in the park by acting as a deterrent and detection system for park authorities, providing baseline information, and generating revenue.
Objectif spécifique
Specific activities include: (1) continued habituation of one group of western lowland gorillas for tourism and monitoring of the impact of tourism; (2) use of innovative, non-invasive techniques for strategic monitoring of great apes and other large mammals; (3) further understanding of the behavioral ecology and population dynamics of western gorillas; (4) providing an effective deterrent to poaching through permanent presence in the forest and regular surveillance for illegal activities; and (5) strengthening national capacity for science-based conservation and adaptive management.
