Shot and edited by researchers and conservationists working in Tai National Park, Ivory Coast, this short video discusses some of the fascinating behaviours and cultures exhibited by the chimpanzees of the region. The movie summarizes some of the main discoveries of the Tai Chimpanzee Project (TCP) and the conservation activities of the Wild Chimpanzee Foundation (WCF) in the early 2000s, including the wildly successful Ymako Teatri conservation education theatre troupe.
