More than half of the primate species face extinction threats. This alarming situation is primarily due to habitat degradation, deforestation, poaching, disease, and their dwindling populations. In response, the program unites multiple organizations dedicated to the conservation of primates. Included organizations are The Society for Preservation of Muriqui, SW Niger Delta Project, and Colobus Conservation. Their collective efforts are critical in addressing the severe challenges threatening the survival of these vital species.

The remaining forests scattered throughout eastern Africa are typically small and fragmented, but they contain remarkable levels of biodiversity. These forests vary greatly in their species composition, particularly among less mobile species; for example, forests that are only 100 kilometers apart may differ in 80 percent of their plant species. This program includes organizations focusing on species conservation such as Hirola Conservation Programme and Zambian Carnivore Programme.
