Great ape Health and conservation
What it is
We monitor great ape health within and outside protected areas using non-invasive methods and employ molecular methods to definite disease situation and provide methods and mechanism for reducing disease transmission risks to great apes alongside conservation efforts
How we do it
We sent up a long-term health monitoring program comprising of multidisciplinary researchers, biologists, environmentalists and public health experts to collect data for health monitoring.
The health monitoring uses one health approach whereby communities, livestock and other wildlife around the great ape health habitats are included in the monitoring.
Public health initiatives are undertaken to address hygiene and sanitation
Preventative measures are undertaken with humans to reduce risks of disease exposure
Benefits to you (if you engage our services)
Great ape health improved which in turn promotes sustainable tourism benefits
