GREAT APE TRUST SUGGESTED READING

To increase awareness about great apes, primate research and conservation efforts, Great Ape Trust has compiled the following list of book titles. We think you'll see that the publications are as varied as the issues involving the study of great apes. The inclusion of a book should not be interpreted as a literary endorsement by Great Ape Trust but rather a reflection of the importance of education, scientific debate and the sharing of knowledge. If we've missed publications that would enhance these discussions, please contact us.
