One of Jane's passions is living a vegetarian lifestyle. Being vegetarian is healthier not only for the consumer but also the environment.

So far, in the short amount of time I’ve spent at Gombe, I've seen quite a few hunts. While most hunts happen high in the tree tops, hidden behind dense vegetation, I recently snagged a prime viewing spot for one of these events, and it was quite a sight.

Kristin and I spent the past week packing and throwing together supplies for the next 2 months of shooting in Kibale National Park, Uganda. Our list seems endless: rubber boots, quick-drying field cloths, binocs, Kristin’s stills equipment, maps and field notepads, computers and hard drives, packs, energy bars, rain capes, loads of zip lock bags, air and water tight stuff bags, a few books, and most importantly, very good chocolate. In the time leading up to the first shoot, I felt that I was an indentured servant to my endless lists.
