Gombe Stream Research Centre

Gombe Stream Research Centre is a scientific facility located in Tanzania that studies wild chimpanzees. It was established to monitor and understand chimp behavior, social structures, and ecology, contributing valuable knowledge about their conservation. By observing these intelligent primates in their natural habitat, researchers aim to protect them from threats like habitat loss and poaching, while also gaining insights into their complex lives that can inform broader conservation efforts and enhance our understanding of human evolution. The centre plays a crucial role in both scientific research and conservation initiatives to ensure the survival of chimpanzees.
