The Ebo forest in Cameroon covers almost 2,000 km? and Ie home to 2 unique mix of 11 primates, including gorillas and the Nigeria-Cameroon chimpanzee, the most endangered of the chimpanzees.

Ekwoge Enang Abwe crew up in a village in Cameroon, so his love for chimpanzees kegaii at ‘an early age. He has played an important role in the area for almost a decade and, since 2010; has been managing the Ebo Forest Research Project, {As wall as encouraging local communities to be proud of the forest's unique biedivereity, this project has been doing biological research in the forest. The project has regular contact with communities through environmental and conservation education, ‘They hope they will be able to create a safe future for the Ebo forest. In 1995, Dr Aparalta Datta anived at the Pakke Tiger Reserve in north-east India to study the local wildlife. Her attention was eaplured by a species of Deautitul bitds called hornbilis. These birds are endangered because of hunting and the destruction of their forest home. Aparajita now leads a programme to conserve them. India’s north-eastern region is known for its biological and oultural diversity area contains the world’s most northerly tropical rainforests with an estimated 7,000-8,000 species of flowering plants, and over 600 bird and 150 mammal species, including tigers and elephants. The region also has small tribal communities and these communities often depend on using the resources from the forest to survive. Aparaiita andi her team are working with local people and the government, They hope to find a balance between the conservation of wildlife and the needs of the local communities. Aparajita is spreading knowledge of the importance of hornbills to the forest - plants need them to spread their seeds, There is also a nest adoption programme, with money going to villagers who nelp to protect the birds.
