John Kahekwa, the founder of the POPOF, has rich experience, extensive knowledge and understanding about the gorillas in the Kahuzi-Biega National Park through the long-term close relationship with them. As being a pioneer of the gorilla identification work in the KBNP, he also identified over 155 individuals. This in fact is an invaluable asset for scientific researches. He has been working with scientists and actively taking part in the researches and reports.
Here are some articles that he took part in.
