Since publication of the 2015 Great Ape Health Guidelines, great ape tourism has continued to gain in popularity, and landscape conversion continues on a steep trajectory. In addition, there has been a tremendous amount of new scientific research on pathogens that infect wild great apes. Furthermore, the world experienced epidemics of Ebola (in West Africa from 2014–2016 and in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) from 2018–2020) and the COVID-19 pandemic (2020–2023).

Great ape tourism, if well implemented, can serve to conserve the species but it can also have considerable negative impacts if it is not based on sound conservation principles. These guidelines have been developed for both existing and potential great apes tourism sites that wish to improve the degree to which their programme contributes to the conservation rather than the exploitation of great apes.

Lignes directrices pour de meilleures pratiques en matière de tourisme de vision des grands singes

Le tourisme de vision des grands singes, s'il est bien mis en application, peut servir à sauvegarder l'espèce, mais il peut également avoir de nombreux effets négatifs s'il est basé sur des principes de conservation mal définis. Ces lignes directrices ont été développées à l'intention des sites de tourisme de vision des grands singes existants et potentiels, et qui désirent améliorer le degré auquel leur programme contribue à la conservation plutôt qu’à l'exploitation des grands singes.
