Abstract

<p>This project aims to promote three main activities: 1) forests and wildlife conservation and promoting ecotourism, 2) improving the quality of life for villagers and protecting forest resources by introducing improved cooking stoves, and 3) environmental education for local residents. Concerning 1), we conducted a monitoring survey of the habitat conditions, mainly for primates, and monitored deforestation and poaching by patrols. Starting in July 2022, four members were replaced with the aim of expanding the local community's understanding of forests. In addition, we regularly observed a chimpanzee group targeted for eco-tours conducted by the local forestry department and exchanged information on conducting appropriate eco-tours. As for 2), in cooperation with the women's group in the village, improved stoves were installed in each house in the adjacent villages. To date, 41 furnaces have been installed in the nearest neighboring village, and 5 in each of the villages on both sides, for a total of 51 new cooking stoves. We also evaluated the usage of the new cooking stove oven as much as possible. As for 3), we continued free school and library activities at the Environmental Education Center and held a lecture by corporate members once at the end of the year.</p>
