Gombe Stream National Park
Gombe Stream National Park is located in western Kigoma Region, Tanzania, 10 miles (20 km) north of Kigoma, the capital of Kigoma Region.〔Tanzania National Parks: (“Gombe Stream National Park” ), 2008.〕 Established in 1968, Gombe is the smallest national park in Tanzania, with only of forest running along the hills of the eastern shore of Lake Tanganyika.〔〔The Jane Goodall Institute: (“Gombe Stream Research Center” ), 2008.〕 The terrain is distinguished by steep valleys, and the forest vegetation ranges from grassland to alpine bamboo to tropical rainforest.〔PBS: Nature- (“Jane Goodall’s Wild Chimpanzees” ), 1996.〕 Accessible only by boat, the park is most famous as the location where Jane Goodall pioneered her behavioral research conducted on the chimpanzee populations.〔〔 The Kasakela chimpanzee community, featured in several books and documentaries, lives in Gombe Stream National Park.
Gombe Stream’s high levels of diversity make it an increasingly popular tourist destination. Besides chimpanzees, primates inhabiting Gombe Stream include beachcomber olive baboons, red colobus, red-tailed monkeys, blue monkeys, and vervet monkeys.〔〔 Red-tailed monkeys and blue monkeys have also been known to hybridize in the area. The park is also home to over 200 bird species〔 and bushpigs.〔 There are also 11 species of snakes, and occasional hippopotamus and leopards.〔African Ape Study Sites: (“Gombe National Park, Tanzania” ), 1999.〕 Visitors to the park can trek into the forest to view the chimpanzees, as well as swim and snorkel in Lake Tanganyika with almost 100 kinds of colorful cichlid fish.〔

(詳細は“Learning from the Chimpanzees: A Message Humans Can Understand” ) ''Science'', 1998.〕 However, her research eventually proved just that—the intellectual and emotional sophistication of non-humans, chimpanzees in particular. With the support of renowned anthropologist Louis Leakey, Goodall set up a small research station in Gombe Stream in hopes of learning more about the behavior of our closest relatives.〔 There she spent months tracking the elusive chimpanzee troops, particularly the Kasakela chimpanzee community, and observing their daily habits until she was slowly accepted by one troop and was allowed rare and intimate glimpses into chimpanzee society.〔
