Title: Long-term research and conservation in Gombe National Park, Tanzania
Abstract: Louis Leakey hoped that a study of chimpanzees, our closest living relatives, living on the shores of a lake might give clues as to the behavior of Miocene hominoids living on the shores of Lake Victoria, on the islands of Rusinga and Mfangano. Accordingly, he arranged for Jane Goodall to start observing the chimpanzees of Gombe on the eastern shore of Lake Tanganyika in July 1960.
