Beekeeping is a potential sustainable livelihood activity that can be used as a strategy for nature conservation and poverty alleviation. Sustainable beekeeping is acknowledged to significantly contribute to the world's sustainable development goals (SDGs) through food security and nature conservation. Indeed, sustainable beekeeping does not deplete natural resources nor require the local communities to abandon their villages that are bordering the forest reserves. Hence, beekeeping projects can serve as opportunities for rural communities to stay connected to forest reserves and improve their standard of living. Thus, this project will promote the conservation of chimpanzee habitats by discouraging anthropogenic activities that deplete chimpanzee habitat quality. People at the village level will be reached, trained, and empowered to participate in sustainable beekeeping activities. In the end, this would result in long-term conservation success as local communities will be equipped with entrepreneurial skills related to apibusiness.

Briefly, this project is anticipated to achieve the followings; (i) reduce or stop forest degradation which is caused by unsustainable anthropogenic activities in the vicinity of chimpanzee habitat, (ii) reduce poverty among the local communities through improving their livelihoods, a situation that will reduce over-dependence on nature, (iii) create employment and income for local families while helping to conserve chimpanzee habitats, (iv) increased agricultural yields through pollination services, and (v) the ecological role played by bees through pollination of flowering plants will increase the quality of chimpanzee habitat in terms of food and nesting resources availability and eventually improve chimpanzee conservation.
