  • State of the Apes: Killing, Capture, and Trade Webinar Video Transcript
    State of the Apes: Killing, Capture, and Trade Webinar Video Transcript May 11, 2021 Asha Tanna: Hello, and welcome to the latest webinar commissioned by the Arcus Foundation, examining the issues threatening the survival of nonhuman ape populations in Africa and Asia. "State of the Apes: Killing, Capture, Trade, and Conservation" is the fourth volume published by Cambridge University Press. My name is Asha Tanna. I'm a broadcast journalist and primatologist, and I'll be your host. Asha: The displacement of wildlife from natural habitats and the handling of wildlife in human environments makes all species more susceptible to disease. Never in history has this been more apparent than right now as we live through a health pandemic. The killing, capture, and trade in endangered and critically endangered apes, as well as other biodiversity, are not only driving them towards extinction but also impacting the health of our planet as ecosystems are disrupted. This series will specifically be exploring the threats to all nonhuman great ape and gibbon populations. All species are important, of course, but charismatic megafauna like chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, orangutans, and gibbons are emotionally appealing apes, and they help to focus and raise awareness about conservation efforts. In turn, this then benefits not only other biodiversity in those regions but the local communities who live side-by-side with them. Humans are scientifically classified as great apes. Studies of chimpanzees in Africa have also contributed significantly to our understanding of human evolution and behavior. The future of these primates lies in our hands. "State of the Apes" aims to provide insight as well as potential strategies to try to stem the demand and supply of apes.
