What is the WCF proposing?

The philosophy of the WCF is threefold: Implement projects of Education, Conservation, and Research for and by the African people.

The program contains 5 main points:

1. A package of awareness activities has been developed to bring knowledge about chimpanzee behavior to regions near forests with chimpanzees to diminish human – chimpanzee conflicts and the resulting poaching. [more]
2. Bio-monitoring is the tool to answer questions like: Where do the last wild chimpanzee populations live? [more]
3. Schoolchildren in Côte d’Ivoire and Germany started, in 2005, to exchange projects on environmental education and many other topics such as health, poverty, art, culture, economy. [more]
4. Protection of high priority internationally classified forests by bio-monitoring for an updated and detailed survey of the fauna towards establishment of an improved management plan of logging activities to reduce their potentially devastating effects. [more]
5. To diminish poaching, launch a campaign, in cooperation with the local governments, demanding a moratorium on the hunting and use of wild chimpanzees and integrate environmental issues in the development policy of the concerned countries.
