Summary

This project will quantify perception of risk, sense of responsibility, social norms, expectations, and willingness to adopt SARS-CoV-2 mitigation measures by tourists and guides to prevent transmission to African great apes and local communities. From this, we will develop evidence-based, multi-media education material for ape tourism sites across Africa. Tourism education campaigns will be fully implemented for chimpanzees at Cantanhez NP, Guinea-Bissau, and gorillas at Bwindi Impenetrable NP, Uganda. Materials will be freely available online for adoption by other organisations.
