CTPH achieves gorilla conservation by enabling humans, wildlife and livestock to coexist through improving primary health care in and around Africa's protected areas
CTPH on CCTV News: Faces of Africa
Last November a film crew made a fascinating documentary about Dr Gladys and the work of Conservation Through Public Health. They tracked gorillas through the jungle with Dr Gladys and watched our team collect gorilla dung samples and check them for parasites. Along the way they also learned about our partner communities and why their improved health and wellbeing is so important for their neighbours the gorillas.
China Central TV released the documentary on Sunday 3rd February 2013 and it’s free to view. Please settle back and watch the show to learn more about Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and its unique inhabitants (it’s 30 minutes).
