Two months after
the Sematas left their
house, photographer
Ronan Donovan set up
nearby, and he says
chimps visited every
day for a week. They
seemed enticed but
agitated by their reflec-
tions in the windows,
as if challenged by rival
chimps living inside.

Recovery has been
difficult for Teddy
Atuhaire, seen here
at 17, who was a four-
year-old in Mukichanga
when a chimp carried
her into a tree. The
chimp gashed her
head and broke her
arm so badly it had to
be amputated. Her
parents are dead, her
siblings far away. Atu-
haire’s aunts provide
occasional help.
