Drawing on the expertise of Primate Specialist Group members to develop a consensus of best practices for field conservationists, the Section on Great Apes has developed a series of guidelines that address critical issues in great ape conservation. The series provides up-to-date guidance for conservation and research projects and the government agencies involved in great ape conservation, as well as for the many private companies, development agencies and donors whose activities may impact great apes.

​

Each publication is focused on a specific issue affecting the immediate survival of great apes, and each provides a comprehensive overview of a designated topic with expert recommendations on how to address it. Our intention with these publications it to provide a comprehensive framework for natural resource managers working in great ape habitat.
