Donate to Great Ape Conservation

GRASP is supported by funds from donor governments, as well as foundations and the private sector. The success of GRASP depends on raising new and additional resources from you. We all can play a role in saving great apes and their habitat. Donate to GRASP

 

Support GRASP Projects

GRASP's impact depends on determining key priorities to save remaining populations of great apes in the wild. Based on advice from the GRASP Scientific Commission and the GRASP Executive Committee, GRASP implements projects at the sub-national, national, regional and global levels.

Funds raised from governments, private-sector interests, non-profit organizations, individuals and other sources contribute directly to great ape conservation and the development of affected human populations in Equatorial Africa and Southeast Asia. Current GRASP Projects

 

Support GRASP in the Field

GRASP is an alliance that includes over 40 non-governmental organizations (NGOs) working toward a single goal: to save remaining great ape populations from extinction. By supporting GRASP members, you are contributing to an international effort to halt the threats facing the survival of orangutan, chimpanzee, gorilla and bonobo populations while saving some of the world's last remaining primary tropical rainforests. See GRASP Members

Make Ape Conservation Your Business

 

Follow Great Ape Best Practices Guidelines

The IUCN/SSC Primate Specialist Group (PSG) has developed a series of guidelines to address critical issues in great ape conservation, drawing on the expertise of members to create a consensus of best practices for field conservationists.

Each publication in the series provides up-to-date guidance for scientists working on a daily basis with great apes, as well as for the many development organizations, donors and government agencies that are involved in great ape conservation. See Best Practices Guidelines
