GOUALOUGOU TRIANGLE

The term refers to an area inhabited by chimpanzees that have never before been in contact with man. The triangle is sandwiched between two natural barriers, the Ndoki River to the west and the Goualougou River to the east. The population has thus always been safe from hunters, so the observer is not perceived as a predator and the chimpanzees show a certain curiosity towards him, or at least a lack of fear. This behavior has been observed in other remote sanctuaries, sheltered from human predation.
