And we’re off!

Dear readers,

We are thrilled to share with you the exciting news that the Great Ape Conservation Film Project (GACFP) is about to set off on its transformative journey! At the heart of this pioneering initiative lies a profound commitment to empower communities and safeguard the future of endangered great apes and their habitats in Cameroon.

Led by the passionate team at GLOBIO in collaboration with our incredible partner Ape Action Africa, GACFP is a film-based conservation project that puts Cameroonian locals front and centre. Its goal is to bring about tangible change by engaging local communities and fostering a deep sense of responsibility towards primate conservation.

As we prepare to embark on this adventure, we are filled with anticipation and excitement. Our journey begins with the crucial research phase, where we will delve into the local perspectives on great apes through comprehensive questionnaires. These invaluable insights will shape our future initiatives, ensuring they resonate deeply with the communities we aim to empower.

We invite you to join us on this remarkable journey! Follow our updates on social media (@ApesLikeUs) and stay tuned to our brand-new GLOBIO website and the Apes Like Us YouTube channel. Through our blogs, videos, and social media posts, we’ll be sharing stories, reflections, and first-hand accounts from the field.

Wish us luck! More to come shortly!

À bientôt!
