The forest that you see on these hilltops are right next to the main road that runs along side Lake Tanganyika. This forest also has monkeys, and some years ago used to have chimpanzees and gorillas. Gorillas even used to be known to walk right out on the road in the past. Not anymore as the primary forest has been cut and as hunting has reduced the gorilla population. Primates are actually a major problem for farmers since they eat the crops when they are ripe. As a result, part of farming is standing guard by fields as the harvest ripens. This also presents a very interesting challenge for a project that wants to help farmers feed their families while at the same time protecting wildlife.
