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
What challenges/obstacles have been encountered in the implementation of this Resolution and how were they overcome :
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.
Briefly describe what future actions are 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 planned for yet:
