Hello Maria,
I would like to collaborate with Maria Peer, because I would also like to set up the Gorilla - Pollinating Birds project in the Kahuzi Biega National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo. as you know there are two major reasons which pushed me to do so:
- The identification and monitoring of pollinating birds in the gorilla biotope are not currently carried out in the region.
- the risk of disease spreading between birds and gorillas remains to be assessed
I would like to draw inspiration from your experience for the implementation of this project in my country
THANKS
