Arcus is among the largest funders of efforts to ensure that our fellow apes can thrive—living full lives on their own terms in their natural habitats. We work to: • Reconcile socioeconomic development and conservation activities in the landscapes where the great apes live • Improve respect for and recognition of the intrinsic value of apes

• Build an integrated and coordinated ape conservation movement • Grow recognition and consideration of apes in larger, adjacent conservation movements. ARCUS FOUNDATION

Conservation of Apes

Four years after Peni was rescued from attackers in a village in West Kalimantan, Borneo, the eight-year-old orangutan is set to become the fourth resident of International Animal Rescue’s sanctuary to be released into a natural forest habitat.

“Peni was orphaned when she was only about four years old,” says Karmele Llano Sánchez, project director of International Animal Rescue (IAR). “It’s taken another four years to raise and prepare her to survive in the forest. But her survival is still threatened by the dramatic

shrinking of orangutans’ forest habitat.” ARCUS FOUNDATION The loss of more than one-third of Borneo’s forestland between 1973 and 20101 to palm oil and rubber cultivation, has forced orangutans into land densely populated by humans, where they can face violence and have difficulty breeding. The Bornean orangutan, of which about 50,000 remain, is listed as endangered due to a decline of more than 50 percent over the past 60 10 years across both Indonesian and Malaysian parts of the Southeast Asian PAGES island, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature. 11

The Sumatran orangutan, the only other species of the arboreal ape 2013 PORT RE ANNUAL and a native of the Indonesian island of Sumatra, is listed as critically endangered, with approximately 7,000 individuals remaining. A 2014 edict by Indonesia’s top Islamic authority, the Ulema, against the killing of all endangered animals in the majority Muslim country, was a positive sign for Borneo Futures, a group of 50 scientists whose research has begun to demonstrate that conservation and sustainable use of natural resources can be compatible with economic growth and development. >

As this report went to press, Emmanuel de Mérode, chief warden of the 3,000-square-mile Virunga National Park in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, had just returned to his post, having survived multiple gunshots in an ambush on April 15, 2014.

U.S. SOCIAL JUSTICE Standing fabulously high in four-inch heels, Robert Guy was one of about 20 participants and hundreds of audience members who kicked off the first “Appropriate Attire” fashion show in November 2009, at Spelman College, the historically black women’s college in Atlanta, Georgia.

There's a lack of infrastructure, resources, and funding for LGBTQ organizing in our region.” Nationally, major LGBT victories in 2013 included the U.S. Supreme Court ruling against the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), strengthening of the Violence Against Women LGBT Landscape Act (VAWA), approval of the Employment Non-Discrimina- tion Act by the U.S. Senate, and state-level advances on recognition of same-sex relationships. However, those working at the intersection of LGBT rights and racial justice reeled from the overturn of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which aimed to curb discrimination in electoral procedures, particularly in the South.

Reauthorization of VAWA, on March 7, 2013, included protections for LGBT survivors of intimate partner and sexual violence, who face major barriers to safety and have historically been denied access to domestic violence shelters. It explicitly protects transgender individuals who are among the most visible targets of LGBT violence. “The possible precedent is huge,” says Chai Jindasurat of the New York City Anti-Violence Project (AVP), noting that this was the first time

In 2013, 13 of the 18 anti-LGBT homicides reported to the National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs by organizations in 14 states and Puerto Rico were of transgender women. Almost 90 percent of the homicide victims were people of color. The effects of unstable and informal employment for trans individuals adds to the scarcity of funding for organizations serving this community, says Gabriel Foster, cofounder of ARCUS FOUNDATION the Transgender Justice Funding Project and a participant at the Arcus National Transgender Advocacy Convening in November.
