Year: 2008

Type: book

Abstract: 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. This document outlines current approaches to great ape surveys and monitoring for field biologists, protected area managers, government wildlife departments and the conservation community at large. It contains detailed, additional information on survey design, field methods, analytical approaches, and practical considerations such as logistics, finance, and standardized reporting.
