Stories from the Field: The gentle giants of Equatorial Guinea

Dr Gráinne McCabe, BZS Head of Field Conservation and Science kicks off our 'Stories from the Field' series with her talk titled "The gentle giants of Equatorial Guinea: conserving Monte Alén’s western lowland gorillas."

Gráinne discusses our flagship conservation project in Equatorial Guinea where we are working to protect the Critically Endangered western lowland gorilla and its forest habitat. She describes gorilla behaviour and sociality, as well as the threats they face in the wild, and explains what we are doing to help to protect these gentle forest giants. She also discusswa the highs and lows of field work in a challenging place like Central Africa, and shares some stories of the adventures our team have had there.
