Action Plans
All of the Specialist Groups in the IUCN Species Survival Commission publish in-depth reports on the conservation status of particular species or groups of species. These Action Plans assess the current situation of species throughout their habitats, and – most importantly – lay out the necessary steps for their protection. The strength of the Action Plan format is in its combination of species overviews and the clear delineation of conservation priorities.
 The Primate Specialist Group has published a number of Action Plans dealing with species groups and individual species. These include:
African Primate Conservation: 1986-1990
Lemurs of Madagascar, 1993
African Primates (Revised), 1996
West African Chimpanzees, 2003
For copies of the first three titles, please contact Jill Lucena; they may be difficult to find, but she will do her best. Copies of the most recent Action Plan, West African Chimpanzees, are abundant and available in both English and French editions; please contact John Aguiar for more information.
 The Primate Specialist Group has also produced two Regional Action Plans, shorter publications which put primate conservation in a comprehensive regional perspective.
Chimpanzees in West Africa, 2003
Chimpanzees and Gorillas in Western Equatorial Africa, 2005
Each of these survey documents is also available in both French and English versions.
NEW: The PSG has just published a new Action Plan focused on the Cross River Gorilla, Gorilla gorilla diehli. At present it is only available in English; please see below for the PDF version, or contact John Aguiar for hardcopies.
