Mondika shrinks!
Category: Uncategorized | Date: Jul 13 2009 | By: gorillasound
In the last weeks several changes happened at Mondika.
Aylin left us just a week ago, she came back in Turkey and I want to wish her all the luck and happiness of the world. Aylin!!!!! Remember to think of us sometimes!!
We are now trying to find a new assistant interested in gorillas and willing to stay here until the end of the project (other 10 months) with us! We hope she/he will arrive soon!
Arno and Mathieu contracts arrived to an end (but I’m sure they will sign for another year!), we hope to see them again here…after a month of holidays, merited holidays!
Few days ago also other 4 friends left Mondika: Andy, Mireya, Kelly and James. They came from US to make a documentary on Kingo family, and I’m sure it will be awesome! I want to thank all of them to have made me laugh so much! I miss you guys!
Mondika is now a little village, just Patrice Max and Holland…and our indispensable trackers!! I’m now in Brazzaville organizing the arrival of the new assistant and writing few other grants to fund my project. I will come to Mondika in few days. From there I will go with the trackers to their villages and meet their families. We will spend few days hunting, gathering and singing in the forest. I will be filming and taking pictures so that you can have an idea of the forest food we will eat and of the beauty of their songs.

I think this is Myreia from “Expedition Africa”! I loved the show, and think she did a great job. Wow, she is fearless. I’m looking forward to seeing the documentary on the Kingo family. Great job, all of you!
Thanks,
Lynne

I’d love to come out and volunteer! Your work is absolutely fascinating.

Great to see the pictures here. (And yes, Lynne, that’s Mireya from Expedition Africa.) She’s the featured scientist in the National Geographic documentary about these gorillas.
The documentary itself is moving along. We’ve just had our rough draft accepted (well received but with lots of revisions to make.) It should be airing in the US on the new Nat Geo Wild channel in the spring.
We all miss you, Roberta. Your work is indeed fascinating — a show about gorilla communication has to happen at some point.
Be safe out there!
James
