Was lucky enough to capture these photos on the way back from the field last week. A group of ~12 chimpanzees crossing a road inside Cantanhez NP, Guinea-Bissau. This was metres from a village, highlighting how humans and chimpanzees share the land across their range. #Chimpanzees #Primatology

Some of the primate residents of the Cantanhez National Park, Guinea-Bissau 🇬🇼 spotted together during the field yesterday. Temminck’s Red Colobus (Piliocolobus badius temminckii), King Colobus (Colobus polykomos) and Campbell’s Monkey (Cercopithecus campbelli) #primates 🐵 #Guinea-Bissau #primatology

Sharing some footage of western chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes verus) from our camera trapping efforts across various protected areas in Guinea-Bissau 🇬🇼 this #WorldChimpanzeeDay #ChimpanzeeDay2025 @derbyuni.bsky.social @arcusfoundation.bsky.social

🇬🇼 Glad to report another successful fieldwork expedition in the Dulombi National Park working with local guides and the government’s wildlife division IBAP on collecting eDNA samples in our attempts to detect the critically endangered Western chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes verus).

Exciting to be able to share our ongoing work using novel eDNA techniques to detect the western chimpanzee in Guinea-Bissau 🇬🇼 @derbyuni.bsky.social @arcusfoundation.bsky.social @joanachimpa.bsky.social www.discoverwildlife.com/animal-facts...

Excited to get started on our second round of fieldwork surveying chimpanzees here in Guinea-Bissau - this time in the remote Boé National Park. Special thank you to the Chimbo Foundation for hosting us at their research camp. @derbyuni.bsky.social #Chimpanzee #Conservation #Fieldwork

Every year around now, I start to see grad students on social media bemoan that they’re going home for the holidays to a family that doesn’t understand their research, or what they do in general, and it breaks my heart. 🧵 🧪 #SciComm

In a devastating blow to wolves and science-based conservation, European Union member states have chosen fear-mongering and anti-wolf rhetoric over facts. Today, members of the Bern Convention voted to downgrade the status of wolves across the EU from "strictly protected" to "protected."

Another packed week of fieldwork here at the Lagoas de Cufada National Park in Guinea-Bissau 🇬🇼 #primatology #chimpanzee #Guinea-Bissau #fieldwork #conservation

I'm still adding as I find more primatology peeps! Here is what I have so far!
