In January 2023 Praveen Moman, Founder Volcanoes Safaris, hosted ‘The Future of Gorillas
and Chimpanzees in the Albertine Rift’, a panel discussion to mark our 25th anniversary.
Watch highlights of the event:
Dr. Gladys Kalema-Zikusoka (Conservation Through Public Health), Kirsten Gilardi (Gorilla
Doctors), Peter Appell (Jane Goodall Institute), Ian Redmond (Ape Alliance and The Gorilla
Organisation), and Nicole Simmons (Chimpanzee Researcher Kyambura Gorge) joined
Volcanoes Safaris at the Royal Overseas League in London. Each speaker provided a unique
perspective into the challenges and successes of working in great ape conservation in the
Albertine Rift.
This event followed an informal retreat in November 2022 held a Mount Gahinga Lodge in
Uganda, with a number of conservationists and partners, where the “Albertine Apes Group”
was created to support collective action and advocacy to support responsible ecotourism,
improving community livelihoods, protecting habitats, health and disease issues. You can
