Arcus Foundation
The Arcus Foundation’s work is driven by two goals: to achieve social justice that is inclusive of sexual orientation, gender identity and race; and to ensure conservation and respect of the great apes. The Arcus Great Apes Program supports conservation and policy advocacy efforts that promote the survival of the gorillas, chimpanzees, orangutans, bonobos and gibbons in the wild and in sanctuaries that offer safety and freedom from invasive research and other forms of exploitation.
Over the next three years, Arcus funding will help support INCEF’s ongoing educational outreach and evaluation efforts, as well as a special monitoring team which will be sent to the region of Congo responsible for the highest level of hunting of both gorillas and chimpanzees -- the road between Ouesso and Souanke. This Congolese team will meet with hunters and visit households to collect information to measure INCEF's impact.
