Through its Partnership, GRASP carries out activities and projects to support
the survival of great apes in nature and the habitat on which they depend.
Working with local communities to create poverty reduction strategies that
simultaneously address poverty and biodiversity loss issues is central to GRASP's
conservation philosophy.
GRASP activities include technical missions to range states to address national
policy issues through National Great Ape Survival Plan (NGASP) workshops, promotion
of great ape related issues at top political levels through visits from the
Great Ape Patrons, NGO partner project funding, policy implementation, fundraising,
and raising public awareness.
