Home Actor Ronan Donovan HD Instagram Photos and Wallpapers April 2020 Ronan Donovan Instagram - A series of images from a recently pulished article by David Quammen and I: Chimps and people are clashing in rural Uganda (link in bio). . 1 - On this trail near Mparangasi village, a boy fetching water pauses cautiously as chimps pass. Around some villages in western Uganda, small groups of chimpanzees survive in remnant strips and patches of forest. Deprived of wild foods, the chimps emerge to raid crops and cultivated fruit trees, competing desperately with people for sustenance, space, survival. 2 - Two adult male chimps gaze out across what once was primary forest habitat in western Uganda. Besides small-plot farming and sugarcane plantations, vast tea estates have displaced forests. 3 - Land conversion shows starkly from the air, as along this boundary between Kibale National Park, with its protected forest, and the sprawl of tea fields and small farming 4 - A young male chimp clutches a discarded soda bottle as he stands in a young grove of planted eucalyptus trees. Chimps are our closest living relatives and therefore we share communicable diseases with them (think malaria, HIV and ebola) and more commonly respiratory diseases. This level of close contact is troublesome for the increased potential for a spillover event. . The story is about the dire situation in some towns in western Uganda where humans and chimpanzees have collided from resource competition. It’s a blueprint story for similar conflicts around the world as a result of habitat loss and human encroachment. As is typical with this issue, the animals tend to disappear as they become food or loose their own natural foods. But in Uganda, one of the animals happens to be wild chimpanzees, our closest living relatives. They too are territorial apes living in tribal groups, as we do. Scarcity breeds conflict and there are casualties on both sides. In this series, I’ve highlighted the plight of the chimpanzees and in future posts (as with my previous post) I’ll balance the story with telling the human side of the issue. . How to help? Send resources/$ to the NGOs working to curb deforestation. In this case, @bulindichimps has successfully been working to find solutions. Link in bio.

Ronan Donovan Instagram – While many of us are used to the sight of a chimp eating a banana, it’s not actually part of their natural diet. Bananas didn’t even originate on the same continent where chimps live – Africa. Bananas are a Southeast Asia food that was brought to the Africa continent through trade in the last 2,000 years. This photo is of a wild male chimp, known as Araali to the researchers, belonging to the Bulindi chimpanzee, studied by Dr. McLennan (@bulindichimps), eating a banana in someone’s garden in rural western Uganda. The second photo shows another male, named Jack,  standing in a eucalyptus tree plantation (another noon native plant) and found a discarded bottle to play with. Not a good thing with how many diseases we share in common with chimps. Photo 3 shows the little strip of forest left where chimps live in this part of western Uganda. Learn more in the story but David Quammen (@davidquammen) and I for @natgeo – link in my bio. Call to action here is to donate $ to the @bulindichimps, link in bio. Thank you.
Ronan Donovan Instagram – Today, March 21st, marks the 25 year anniversary of the first wolves released into the wilds of Yellowstone National Park. It took decades of hard work by a passionate group of Conservationists, NGOs and politicians to make this restoration effort possible. Thank you for your efforts. Under the bipartisan supported Endangered Species Act, the gray wolf became protected in the lower-48 in 1974. The loss of Wilderness and Wildthings was felt across the nation at that time and the gray wolf was the final piece to restore the Yellowstone Ecosystem to its historic glory – before Europeans and market hunters/trappers changed the West forever. Today, Yellowstone’s roughly 100 wolves represent one of the great restoration stories of the last century. I hope you all have the chance to one day hear a wild wolf pack howling in the distance. If you’re interested to learn more, there are dozens of books on the topic, but a few notable titles are : Decade of the Wolf, Of Wolves and Men, and American Wolf @yellowstonenps @nationalparkservice #wolves #wolf #mrblue #yellowstone #yellowstonenationalpark
