In this episode, I resume my conversation with Ian Redmond, OBE, “a self-confessed gorillaholic who's been hooked for 40 years!” Ian is also known as Mandevu “the bearded one,” one of his African names.

In episode 15, we talked about the interconnectedness of life: how the elephant, chimpanzee and gorilla ‘gardeners of the forests’ of the Congo Basin are connected with a loaf of bread in England and - importantly - how local people can benefit financially from the ecosystem services of animals that are often regarded as a nuisance when wildlife tramples or eats their crops, or endangers human life. We also talked about Ian's role in the mountain gorilla story, working with his mentor Dr. Dian Fossey in Rwanda.

In part two, we discuss:

  • The birth of a gorilla in captivity. What does its future look like?
  • Western lowland gorillas and bonobos. What's the difference?
  • Frustrating travel advisories!
  • How safe is it to travel to Kahuzi Biega National Park in the DR Congo?
  • Is there any conservation model as successful as gorilla tracking?
  • “Primatologist's neck” - which phenomenon is Ian referring to here?
  • And finally, will he reveal which great ape is his favourite?
