IUCN SSC Primate Specialist Group (PSG)

Sitting within the IUCN Species Survival Commission (SSC), the PSG is active throughout the tropical world, working in dozens of nations in Africa, Asia and Latin America, and promotes and supports research on the ecology and conservation of the lorises, pottos, galagos, lemurs, tarsiers, monkeys and apes that make up the primate radiation. Find out more about the PSG here.

There are two sections for apes within the PSG. Learn more about each section using the links below:

APES Atlas

The IUCN APES (Ape Populations, Environments and Surveys) Atlas, formerly the A.P.E.S. Wiki, is a collaborative initiative by the IUCN SSC PSG Section on Great Apes (SGA) and Section on Small Apes (SSA) to centralize information on ape population status, threats, and conservation and research activities.

APES Database

The IUCN APES (Ape Populations, Environments, and Surveys) Database is a unique repository that stores all survey data on ape populations. Its goal is to support great ape monitoring, research, and decision-making by compiling a wide range of information on the distribution and dynamics of great apes over time. The Database has also begun to compile data on small apes and other primates.
