Located in western Uganda, Gombe is home to the renowned Kibale National Park, a 795-square-kilometer rainforest known as the "Primate Capital of the World". Home to more than 1,500 chimpanzees, the park is one of the world's best destinations for studying and observing chimpanzees in the wild, and is the site of a decades-long chimpanzee behavioral study by Jane Goodall. In addition to chimpanzees, the area is also home to 13 species of primates, including red colobus monkeys and black and white colobus monkeys, as well as mammals such as forest elephants and leopards, making it an incredibly biodiverse place. Visitors can participate in the "Chimpanzee Tracking" eco-tourism program, where they are guided deep into the pristine forests to get up close and personal with these close relatives of mankind, while experiencing the unique charm of the African wild. Gombe is not only a paradise for nature lovers, but also an important base for global wildlife conservation.
Baseline is a small unincorporated community in Pulaski County, Arkansas, United States, located in the central part of the state about 16 kilometers north of the state capital, Little Rock. As part of the Little Rock metropolitan area, Baseline is characterized by a quiet suburban and conveniently located transportation district, with residential neighborhoods, small commercial areas, and some agricultural land scattered around the area. The community's name may be derived from the baseline survey in early planning, dating back to the railroad development of the late 1800s. With a slow pace of life and a beautiful natural environment for residents seeking a quieter life, as well as access to urban amenities due to its proximity to Little Rock, the local area is one of the quintessential satellite communities in Central Arkansas.
