This atlas provides a comprehensive overview of what is
currently known about all six species of great apes - chimpanzee,
bonobo, Sumatran orangutan, Bornean orangutan, eastern gorilla,
and western gorilla. It gives a thorough background on ape
behaviour and ecology for each species, including detailed
habitat requirements, the apes' ecological role, and the possible
consequences of their decline.
Despite the dedicated efforts of many individuals and organizations,
the great apes all fall into the Endangered or Critically
Endangered category of the IUCN Red List. This atlas offers
a full description of the threats, current conservation efforts,
and additional protection needed for each species across its
entire range.
