Was lucky enough to capture these photos on the way back from the field last week. A group of ~12 chimpanzees crossing a road inside Cantanhez NP, Guinea-Bissau. This was metres from a village, highlighting how humans and chimpanzees share the land across their range.

Sharing some footage of western chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes verus) from our camera trapping efforts across various protected areas in Guinea-Bissau 🇬🇼 this #WorldChimpanzeeDay #ChimpanzeeDay2025 @derbyuni.bsky.social @arcusfoundation.bsky.social

🇬🇼 Glad to report another successful fieldwork expedition in the Dulombi National Park working with local guides and the government’s wildlife division IBAP on collecting eDNA samples in our attempts to detect the critically endangered Western chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes verus).

Excited to get started on our second round of fieldwork surveying chimpanzees here in Guinea-Bissau - this time in the remote Boé National Park. Special thank you to the Chimbo Foundation for hosting us at their research camp. @derbyuni.bsky.social #Chimpanzee #Conservation #Fieldwork

Another packed week of fieldwork here at the Lagoas de Cufada National Park in Guinea-Bissau 🇬🇼
