JGI Receives Grant for Conservation Efforts in Tanzania

We learned this week that our friends at The Jane Goodall Institute will be receiving a four-year grant from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). The grant, totaling more than $5.5 million (USD) will enable the Institute-in partnership with the Tanzanian District Councils of Kigoma and Mpanda, The Nature Conservancy (TNC) and the Frankfurt Zoological Society-to expand its existing community-centered conservation programs in western Tanzania, home to important populations of chimpanzees and other endangered species.

To get a better idea of some of the wonderful work JGI is doing, watch this video:
