Please contact us if you have suggestions for this page. This is far from an exhaustive list but rather can serve as a starting point for fact-finding and research ideas. “So, one potential conservation implication might be that in populations of species that have cultural knowledge, you actually want to target your conservation actions at elders, contrary to usual practice which suggests that post-reproductive animals are not useful anymore,” he said.This page retains existing categories and links from the old PIN and includes additional links as well.
Redmond also noted to Down to Earth that recognizing a learned, cultural behavior will change conservation moving forward, since the skills the elderly chimps teach the younger ones are critical to the survival of the culture. One major value is that it shares many features with percussive stone tool making that occupied over three million years of hominin evolution, and it has accordingly offered insights into potential evolutionary foundations of this aspect of our human past.” “Moreover, the culture of nut-cracking merits conservation for reasons beyond that focused only on the species and the activity itself. The CMS also noted that the primitive tools of the chimpanzees provide a window into our own evolution. So it becomes a novel criterion for conservation.”
If local human communities harvest the same nuts or fell trees for timber, we lose chimpanzee culture. We need to know which tribes behave like this. So these chimpanzees have a better chance of survival. Because of climate change, there are longer dry seasons.

He told Down to Earth, “The ability to crack nuts means chimpanzees can survive in forests which in dry seasons don’t have much other food. Recognizing that ability and protecting it is a novel method of conservation. Ian Redmond also touted the unique ability to crack nuts as fundamental to survival during the climate crisis.
“Alternatively, such behavioral plasticity could enhance survival prospects of chimpanzees in marginal habitat or subject to climate-induced changes to vegetation.” “ must expect to suffer a high degree of threat, a situation that is reminiscent of cultural extinctions among humans, such as of relatively rare local languages and other customs,” the CMS wrote in its proposal. The need to protect chimpanzees is particularly pronounced now that their habitat is rapidly changing due to the climate crisis and industrial nut farming. “You can tell where a chimpanzee is from by looking at its behavior in a way similar to when you recognize which tribe a human comes from through her clothes, dancing and mannerisms.” It becomes apparent when you watch them for a while,” said Ian Redmond, a CMS tropical field biologist and conservationist, to Down to Earth. “In different parts of western Africa, scientists noted that chimpanzees interacted with each other and used tools, so their behaviors are different from other animals.
