I have a question about the book Karisoke: The Hidden Colony. Why did the author choose to write the book in the first person?

The author chose to write the book in the first person because he wanted to give the reader a sense of what it was like to be a member of the colony. He wanted to show the reader what it was like to live in the forest, to be a scientist, and to be a member of the gorilla research team.
