How is JGI working to save chimpanzees and other Great Apes? Download of copy of 'JGI in Africa: Ensuring a Future for Great Apes' (PDF format requires adobe Acrobat Reader)

The goal of JGI’s Africa Programs is to ensure the long-term protection of wild ape populations in natural host countries throughout Africa, while preserving biodiversity and cultural traditions and livelihoods. These goals can be reached through increased conservation presence in national parks and protected areas, by halting the commercial trade of apes as bushmeat and pets, increased government capacity, and community-based measures to increase the preservation of forest habitats and cultural livelihoods.
