Ecosystem Analysis

An Intimate Global Beacon of Primate Science

Gombe Stream National Park is a thin strip of ancient, fragile mountain forest clinging to the deep valleys of western Tanzania. Completely free of vehicles, this precious eco-reserve offers a rare opportunity to explore the behavior, family trees, and sophisticated hunting strategies of our closest living relatives on foot.
