Great Apes Survival Partnership

The Great Apes Survival Partnership is a group of people who want to help keep great apes safe and healthy. Great apes are really big animals that are very similar to us humans. There are only a few different kinds of great apes in the world, like gorillas, orangutans, chimpanzees, and bonobos, and they are all really important because they help keep the Earth's forests healthy.

But sometimes great apes are in danger because people cut down their forests or hunt them for their meat or body parts. This is bad for the great apes because they need the forest to live and be healthy. That's where the Great Apes Survival Partnership comes in. They help to protect the forests where great apes live and work with local communities and governments to make sure the great apes are safe.

They also help scientists study the great apes so that we can learn more about them and make sure they stay healthy. That's why the Great Apes Survival Partnership is really important for helping to keep great apes safe and healthy for many years to come!
