The majority of western chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes verus) live outside protected areas suggesting informal protections are playing a continued role in their persistence. This project seeks to identify this local ecological knowledge and to reflect on its potential incorporation in formal conservation strategies. Only with a full understanding and inclusion of local perspectives and practice will ‘biodiversity conservation’ truly succeed at benefitting people and wildlife.
