The Great Apes Survival Partnership (GRASP) was launched in 2001 by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) to help lift the threat of imminent extinction faced by gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos and orangutans in Africa and Asia.
GRASP is a unique mix of United Nations agencies, governments (mainly the great ape range states), donors, international and national conservation organizations, the scientific community and private sector companies. GRASP is led by UNEP and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
GRASP unites all the principal institutional actors in great ape conservation in a concerted approach to halt a major extinction crisis. Due to its status as a World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) Type II Partnership and its position within the United Nations system, GRASP has a unique and vital role in great ape conservation ,complementing the efforts of individuals and organizations through appropriate diplomatic channels.
