Signs of Time

Uganda: Kibale Forest

The Trekking in the Kibale forest in search of the Chimpanzees takes place in a dense network of paths among trees more than thirty meters high. After about two hours of trekking we reached the family, made up of about 15 subjects, including adults, young people, juveniles and this old male, the oldest of the family, in his face and in his eyes you can see the Signs of the past and the hope that this type of 'ecotourism' can help this species from the threat of extinction caused in this case by the continuous deforestation to make room for the cultivation of tea, sugar cane and coffee.
