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.[3]

Improving Gender and Health Outcomes[]

JGI achieves this through community-centered health projects, improvements to water supplies, and programs designed to keep girls in school.[4]

Promoting Sustainable Livelihoods[]

JGI does this through improved agricultural practices, community-managed microcredit programs, and sustainable production techniques that increase incomes while protecting forests[5] and watersheds.[6]
