|Oil production by Total is taking place close to Budongo forest, to the north and west, along the land adjacent to Lake Albert. This work is leading to air pollution, noise pollution, upgrading of forest tracks to wide tarmacked roads for heavy traffic, increased accessibility to the forest interior for poachers, loggers, traffickers and dispossessed landless peasants, and as a result increased vulnerability of chimpanzees to human infections and interference. These threats are detailed in an Environmental Impact Assessment by Total: http://nema.go.ug/sites/all/themes/nema/docs/TILENGA%20ESIA%20Volume%20III_13-09-18.pdf (vol III Plants and Wildlife). A summary of the above (Reynolds 2020) is available by request from Prof. V. Reynolds (vreynolds@btopenworld.com).
