A selfie of a primatologist in the field overlaid on a picture of a mother and infant chimpanzee that she studies. In the bottom corner there is a logo for the podcast, Talking Apes. It is a cartoon ape face with big earphones - its pretty cute.
Growing Up Chimp, Talking Apes Ep. 60
An infant chimpanzee dangles above their mother with a playful face and their feet on her shoulders. They reach toward the mother's arm while the mother looks at the camera. She looks almost exasperated.
Playing with the kids is important work for chimpanzee mothers...

The L'TLe Project

The Learn Through the Lens Exchange (L'TLe) Project is an environmental education initiative in cooperation with the Kasisi Project and the Kibale Chimpanzee Project. The principle goal of the L'TLe project is to encourage Ugandan and American students to explore and examine their local habitats more closely through photodocumentation and international exchange. Students from each country help teach those across the pond about their specific ecologies through photographic correspondence. The L’TLe Project directly benefits students through educational support and helping increases students' ecological understanding as well as providing training in a marketable skill like photography. We directly benefit chimpanzee conservation efforts by teaching students about human impacts including poaching and timber- clearing on both chimpanzees and the forest ecosystem, and helping to foster a sense of local pride and stewardship for endangered ecologies.
