The Problem
• Forests are important for climate stability, including rainfall; temperature, timber;
& medicinal plants
• Apes and Forest are interconnected, without apes, no forest regeneration (apes
are keystone species for forests)
• FAO estimates that we are losing an estimated 7.3 million hectares of forest per
year (roughly the size of the country of Panama)
• Many local communities living near these
forests are poor, so little opportunity to
find alternative livelihoods that are not
destructive
• African Rainforests are often in some of the
most politically unstable or poorly
managed countries.
