"Ecological Studies and Conservation of Fauna and Flora in the Greater Mahale" project is an research project of the Wildlife Research Project in Ugalla Area. Our research has been concentrated more on the topic of social dynamics of one species, chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes).
Chimpanzees exist across equatorial Africa . Most sites where they are studied are rain forests. Few studies have been conducted on chimpanzees living in dry habitats.
Therefore, we are aware of the necessity of expanding our scientific scope wider and also would like to contribute more to the conservation of wildlife by including more studies on ecological aspects. Furthermore, we would like to make extensive surveys in greater areas of the western Tanzania to study and protect all wild animals. This project includes various approaches from different disciplines including ecology, behavioral ecology, primatology, anthropology, molecular ecology, etc.
