A week of talks opened on Monday in Kinshasa, Congo, to help save the world’s great apes. Governments are meeting to create a global agreement aimedat protecting endangered apes across the world. The focus of the meetings is to save these precious primates from extinction. Urgent action is needed to ensure their survival. Teams from 23 nations from Africa, Indonesia and Malaysia are taking part in the discussions. These countries are home to the world’s gorillas, and orangutans. Many zoologists think most of the great apes will be extinct within a generation. Numbers have reduced from millions in the 19th century to just 400,000 today. This number is sharply declining year by year. Logging, poaching and wars are putting the apes in great danger. Over half of the apes’ natural habitat is in war-torn regions. Ian Redmond of the U.N.’s Great Apes Survival Project says there is a “shared determination to address the problems”.
