Orangutan (J.Cissewski)

The Ape Populations, Environments, and Surveys (A.P.E.S.) database aims to provide an accurate and objective global picture on the distribution and status of great apes, and thus inform long-term management and conservation strategies for these taxa. This will be achieved by providing a user-friendly and interactive database to archive ape survey data which will be managed by a Data Review Working Group that produces regular reports on the status of great apes and reviews requests for data access.

A tabular overview  provides a comprehensive list of sites, previously and/ or currently inhabited by great apes. The list also summarizes important population parameters, data availability and information quality.
