In the remote Cantanhez Forest region of southern Guinea-Bissau, a number of community-based conservation projects seek to provide both protection of the natural environment as well as development to local communities.  Hear about the successes and challenges of such projects from a variety of local actors, including the director of a community radio station, the vice-president of a local women’s association, the director of a small-scale loan scheme, a government forestry worker, a hunter, a local chief, and many others.  See rare footage of Africa’s westernmost chimpanzee population and hear about their complex interactions with local communities.  See a charming and impromptu dance performance by local children.
