This report summarizes the results of a project that aimed to support evidence-based conservation planning for endangered ape species under climate change, with a focus on gibbons in Vietnam. Specifically, the project team produced high-resolution, expert-informed climate change projections for all gibbon species with distributions in Vietnam. The report also provides model-informed recommendations from experts and project contributors for policy and management actions to guide forward-thinking conservation strategies for these threatened apes in the face of imminent change.
The results of this project provide critical insights to inform planned species’ habitat recovery and population re-establishment efforts, as well as the design of species and biodiversity conservation corridors at regional and national scales in Vietnam and neighboring countries. In particular, these results can help prioritize the connectivity of key habitats outside of existing protected areas.
