II. Implementation

Activities carried out to implement this Resolution
Capacity-building
Fundraising
Describe the results/achievements of the activities
Mobilization of local stakeholders and creation of a local organization (Chimps Guardians in Uganda) to fight against the poaching of Great Apes and improve knowledge of these populations on the outskirts of 8 Protected Areas in Central and East Africa

Strengthening the visibility of local stakeholders with the participation of the Alliance for the Conservation of Great Apes in Central Africa (GSAC) in several major primatology events: the International Primatological Society conference in Malaysia, the Francophone Primatology Society conference in Dakar, and the African Primatology Society congress in South Africa.

Fundraising for the creation of wildlife-friendly green sectors to generate income for populations living near Protected Areas is underway

Challenges/obstacles encountered in the implementation of this Resolution and measures taken
Lack of recognition for institutions; lack of connection with the Great Apes section of the SSG. Difficulties in organising face-to-face meetings and in mobilising funding for this.
Future actions / activities needed for the implementation of this Resolution
Like any other wildlife, great apes are facing significant challenges, and continued efforts are needed to save this species. There should be collaborative efforts to work on this species and disseminate progress, which is often a struggle, as evidenced in this reporting. Very few focal persons respond to requests for progress updates, and we often lack information about what has been achieved so far and what needs to be done to be precise. There needs to be coordinated efforts among resolution focal points and implementers.
Are these actions/activities planned?
No
