We study a broad range of wildlife species and are happy to share two recent publications co-authored by WildCo researcher Jacqui Sunderland-Groves on Critically Endangered great apes. As great ape populations continue to decline across their range understanding their basic biology, current distribution and abundance is crucial for planning effective conservation actions. Check out these new publications which provide updated knowledge to support future conservation efforts for two of the rarest great ape subspecies found in Africa and south-east Asia.
