(FILES) A general view of an artisanal gold mine in Bokodi on May 8, 2025. In the far southeast corner of Senegal, where dangerous work in the region's informal gold mines is prevalent, five area residents originally from local villages, research chimpanzees. The project is focused on the area's highly unusual savannah-dwelling chimpanzees and has proven an escape from the mines, and a deep dive into science. The group of rare chimpanzees they research live in the bush instead of the forest alongside other chimp communities in Senegal's Kedougou region, on the border with Mali and Guinea.
