The conservation of the world’s great apes is dependent on an understanding of the threats they face within the broader context of economic and community development. The State of the Apes book series, intended for a broad audience of policymakers, academics, researchers, NGOs, and experts in the conservation field, explores the interrelated factors that affect great apes’ well-being with objectivity, rigor, and relevance. Each book in the series explores a different theme.
