Mountain gorillas (Gorilla beringei beringei) in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda: interrelationships with Batwa and other local communities.
REFNo: SS24ES
This proposed research project is a dissertation project that will focus on increasing our understanding of the relationships between mountain gorillas (Gorilla beringei beringei) and varied local human communities living around Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda. Despite over 50 years of research on mountain gorillas, little is known about their traditional importance to local communities. I ask the following research questions: (1) How have the relationships between mountain gorillas and various local communities changed over time with conservation management and resettlement practices? (2) How can the integration of local knowledge enhance the participation of local communities in the scientific process, management, and conservation of protected spaces? (3) How do current human-gorilla interactions shape local people’s perceptions of mountain gorillas in Bwindi? I anticipate that findings will show that farmers who must guard their crops without harming gorillas and displaced hunter-gatherers who are cut off from their resource base will have different understandings of and conflicts with wildlife. I also anticipate that findings will increase the longevity of this species (Gorilla beringei beringei) by providing a deeper understanding of the complex associations between gorillas and humans sharing mosaic edge habitats.
