Abstract
From Executive Summary: The combination of threats currently facing the remaining great apes requires immediate conservation action at all scales — from site-level initiatives, through national and regional strategies, to international conventions and action plans. Baseline density estimates and subsequent monitoring of ape populations are essential for assessing the impacts of particular threats and measuring whether conservation programmes are succeeding.  Available at: https://portals.iucn.org/library/node/9226
