About Grasp Australasia

Young orangutan eating a leaf

GRASP is an innovative and ambitious project of UNEP and UNESCO with an immediate challenge - to lift the threat of imminent extinction faced by gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos and orangutans.

Despite the dedicated efforts of many individuals and organisations, the great apes are on the very edge of extinction. Time is not on our side.

GRASP is a dynamic alliance of many of the world's leading great ape research and conservation organisations. Close governmental links allow us to promote the GRASP message at the highest political levels. As such, GRASP is uniquely placed to mobilise and pool resources, ensure maximum efficiency and provide a communication platform to bring the dramatic decline of great ape populations to a halt.
