GAFC-Expend On Investmnt-Species Conservation Grant Orangutan conservation through effective law enforcement and media support
Funding a future for orangutans: Assessing and prioritizing impacts of great ape conservation investment and interventions in Indonesia and Malaysia All three orangutan species (Pongo pygmaeus, P. abelii, and P. tapanuliensis) are Critically Endangered. Despite conservation action plans and millions of dollars in annual funding, conservation interventions have failed to stop population declines. The goal is to develop a spatially explicit conservation investment plan that optimally directs funding to effective conservation strategies and ensures long term healthy populations of the three orangutan species. Project objectives are, (1) Analyses of orangutan conservation investments since 2007, and the results of the evaluation of the effectiveness of the associated actions in reducing threats and threat drivers, and stabilizing populations. Orangutan investment success will be compared with USFWS-supported investments; (2) Develop a model of the relationships between the current orangutan distributions and environmental conditions, and estimate the distribution of orangutan in the future given the absence and under the presence of conservation actions; and, (3) Analysis will determine what is needed for individual populations to get to a future desired state given anticipated threats, a known effectiveness of different strategies for addressing these threats, and a limited budget.
