In the heart of nature's splendour, where the ancient stand tall,
Lies a tale of wild creatures, and wisdom they recall.
In the Budongo Forest shadows, where chimpanzees roam free,
They seek the healing power, in flora of the trees.

Oh, the wisdom of the wild, in the forests deep and green,
Where the chimpanzees healers, with the knowledge yet unseen.
They teach us secrets, in the medicines they find,
In the dance nature's balance, there's a lesson for mankind.

They nibble the leaves and bark, of trees and ferns unknown,
a purpose and intention, their remedies are shown.
For and infections, they know which plants to chew,
Their are a guide, to the healing they pursue.

From dead wood of Alstonia, to the fern leaves they consume,
Each plant a hidden doctor, in the forest's living room.
With anti-inflammatory power, and antibiotics strong,
The chimpanzees remind us, we've known this all along.

In the face of challenges, with diseases on the rise,
We turn to forests, and the wisdom they comprise.
To the guardians the green, and their medicinal lore,
The wild holds answers, we've been searching for.

So let's protect these forests, and the secrets that they keep,
For in the of nature, lies the wisdom, pure and deep.
The are teachers, of a knowledge old and grand,
In healing ways, they offer hope to every land.
