According to Jane Goodall Institute (JGI), Tanzania is home to 2,200 chimpanzees, with at least 60 per cent of them facing pressure from a poverty-stricken human population.
Habitat fragmentation due to illegal logging, settlement expansion, overgrazing, charcoal burning, and conversion of forest to farmland poses significant threats to chimpanzees and other wildlife, while also contributing to climate change.
