Description

In episode six, join me - Charlotte Beauvoisin, author of Diary of a Muzungu - as I chat chimpanzees with Harvard University Professor - and close friend of Sunbird Hill - Dr. Richard Wrangham whose work combines primatology, evolutionary biology and anthropology. Listen in to hear:

  • What do sex, violence and cooking have in common?
  • How do bees protect villagers’ gardens from hungry elephants?
  • How long did Richard work in Gombe with Jane Goodall?
  • Why shouldn't people have chimps as pets?
  • What is the Kibale Chimpanzee Project?
  • How does attending the Kasiizi Project’s secondary school protect the forest?
  • Dr. Richard Wrangham has been visiting - and lived in - Uganda for 40 years. Which National Parks does he recommend?
  • And lastly, why did Richard suggest Julia Lloyd eat a hairy caterpillar?
