I spoke on Iowa Public Radio's 'The Exchange' today about the Fongoli chimps' behavior around fire, along with some comments on Nickel's tool being showcased in the Smithsonian's upcoming Human Origins. The latter half of the show includes Dr. Benjamin Beck of the Great Ape Trust of Iowa, speaking about his chimpanzee conservation project in Rwanda as well as new developments at The Trust.

Research on West African chimpanzees living in a savanna mosaic at Fongoli, Senegal since 2001, with a focus on the behavioral ecology of apes in a semi-arid environment. Associated with the Neighbor Ape 501c3 non-profit organization (US), which seeks to conserve the chimpanzees at Fongoli and to provide for the wellbeing of people that live alongside them.
