We know that Arcus grantees are making change happen. Thanks to the hard work, determination and vision of our partners, we are beginning to see gains in the protection of great ape populations and their habitats—in Africa, Indonesia, and in sanctuaries all over the globe—and we are beginning to create a greater understanding of the respect and value of great apes. But how do we measure these gains, and how can we best tell the stories of progress and of setbacks? Arcus is committed to ongoing assessment of our goals and strategies and of progress we are making in achieving outcomes in all our program areas. We are committed to assessing results in collaboration with our grantees and other partners. And we are committed to improving the transparency of our policies and processes.
