Join explorers and primatologists David Morgan and Crickette Sanz as they share their groundbreaking discoveries from the Congo about mankind's closest living relatives. For the past decade, they've trekked the forests of the Republic of Congo's Goualougo Triangle to uncover truths about chimpanzees and their gorilla neighbors. Their research on ape behavior and the impact of logging in this eco-sensitive region was featured in the February 2010 edition of National Geographic magazine.
Drs. Sanz and Morgan co-direct the Goualougo Triangle Ape Project in the Congo's Nouabale-Ndoki National Park. It is one of a few sites in all of Africa to include focused studies on sympatric (occupying the same, or overlapping geographic areas without interbreeding) populations of chimpanzees and gorillas.
