Prince Dégny VALE

Assistant teaching professor, Université Jean Lorougnon Guédé

I'm passionate about biodiversity and primate conservation. My journey started with training at the National Zoo of Abidjan in 2014, leading to a Master's degree focusing on human-wild Campbell monkey interactions in Taï, Côte d’Ivoire. Subsequently, I joined the Taï Chimpanzee Project, conducting challenging year-long fieldwork for my PhD on wild chimpanzees' diet, physiology, and energetics. The success of this project, in collaboration with a diverse team, showcases my motivation and professionalism. Non-human primates fascinate me due to their similarities to humans and their vital role in tropical forest survival. Currently, as a teacher-researcher at the university, I emphasize flexibility in my orientations. I'm also working on a project to understand the conservation challenges posed by the expansion of the gold mining sector in my country.
