WWF Great Apes Programme

The WWF Great Apes Programme is an initiative dedicated to conserving the world's closest relatives—chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans. It focuses on protecting their natural habitats, preventing illegal hunting, and reducing threats like disease. By working with local communities, governments, and conservation experts, the program aims to ensure these intelligent, endangered species survive and thrive in the wild. It also promotes research, education, and sustainable development to support long-term conservation efforts. Ultimately, the program seeks to maintain biodiversity and preserve these vital species for future generations.
