In Guinea, a chimpanzee killed an 8-month-old baby that it snatched from its mother's arms.

A terrible incident occurred in the Bossou region of Guinea. A chimpanzee snatched an 8-month-old baby from a mother's arms and killed it. The event caused great shock among the local community and the scientific circles.

The incident took place in a cassava field. While the mother, Seny Zogba, was working, a chimpanzee known to have previously used human tools approached and took the baby from her arms. The baby, named Yoh Hélène, lost its life as a result of the attack.

Experts conducting research in the area indicate that there has been an increase in chimpanzee attacks recently. Since the beginning of the year, six chimpanzee-human attacks have been recorded. Experts say that due to decreasing food resources, chimpanzees have been forced to approach human settlements, leading to conflicts.

After the incident, the local community reacted against the Bossou Environmental Research Institute. An angry crowd that entered the institute's building destroyed numerous documents and started a fire.

It is emphasized that urgent measures need to be taken to protect the ecological balance in the region and to prevent human-chimpanzee conflicts. Authorities announced that they have initiated efforts to ensure the safety of the local population and to protect the habitats of chimpanzees.

This tragic event has once again brought to the forefront the delicate balance between humans and wildlife. Experts state that a comprehensive action plan must be prepared to prevent similar incidents from occurring.
