Despite dedicated efforts, great apes—our closest living relatives—are on the brink of extinction. This atlas offers a comprehensive overview of all six species: chimpanzee, bonobo, Sumatran orangutan, Bornean orangutan, eastern gorilla, and western lowland gorilla. In collaboration with The Great Apes Survival Project (GRASP), it provides in-depth information on each species’ behavior, ecology, habitat requirements, and the ecological consequences of their decline. The atlas details the threats they face, current conservation efforts, and the additional protections needed across their ranges. With numerous full-color maps and illustrations, the book makes extensive information accessible to a wide audience, including specialists, policymakers, and general readers concerned about these charismatic primates. It showcases the collaborative efforts of leading research and conservation organizations worldwide, uniting UN agencies, governments, and private-sector interests to elevate the profile of great ape conservation and foster political will for further action. Readers will discover the specific work being done for great ape conservation and identify areas where efforts are most needed and likely to succeed. The atlas features over 150 full-color photos and more than 50 maps and diagrams, supporting the ongoing conservation efforts of the Great Apes Survival Project through royalties from its sale.
