Primate Questions of Conservation, Part 2/4

An ethnographical and wildlife conservation documentary film by Fisher,
Hellyer, Koller and Leonhardt.

Primate Questions of Conservation was produced from film footage and
still photography gathered in the African countries of Tanzania, Uganda
and Rwanda during The Colorado African Expedition of 2007. The film
focuses upon the plight to conserve and protect a secure habitat for the
central African great apes at the expense of the habitat and
hunter-gatherer culture of the Batwa pygmy people. The two groups of
Primates, Great Apes and Batwa Pygmies, lived together harmoniously for
thousands of years. However, now the Batwa people having been forced off
their ancestral lands are diminishing along with the disappearance of
their hunter-gatherer culture. Dr. Jane Goodall, primatologist,
ethologist, and anthropologist, appears in the film. She is well-known
for her 45-year study of chimpanzee social and family interactions in
Gombe Stream National Park, Tanzania, and for founding the Jane Goodall
Institute.
