Protecting Great Apes
JGI works to protect chimpanzees and other primates by supporting sanctuaries, law enforcement efforts to reduce illegal trafficking and public education to protect endangered species in the wild.
Improving Gender & Health Outcomes
JGI achieves this through community-centered health projects, improvements to water supplies and programs designed to keep girls in school.
Promoting Sustainable Livelihoods
JGI does this through improved agricultural practices, community-managed microcredit programs, and sustainable production techniques that increase incomes while protecting forests and watersheds.
