The protection of these species, which play a fundamental role in the ecological balance of tropical forests and ecosystems, and thus in adaptation to climate change is essential. With an estimated population of between 518,000 and 688,000 gorillas, chimpanzees and orangutans living in the wild, all Great Ape species are either Endangered or Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List and CITES Appendix 1, indicating that they are at very high risk of extinction in the wild in the near future, probably within our own lifetime. They are all endangered, at a high risk of extinction in the wild in the near future, probably within our own lifetime. In addition to humans, there are 3 genera of great apes: chimpanzees and gorillas in Africa, and orangutans in Asia. With a common gene pool of between 97% and 98.5%, great apes are our closest cousins in the animal kingdom. The seventh is Homo sapiens, our species. The hominid family is the smallest mammalian family with 7 living species, 6 of which live in the tropical forests of Africa and Asia.
