Acknowledgments and Credits
Several of the voices featured in this annual report speak of ecosystems—in the context of our ape conservation and social justice work. Arcus’ 2020 report required an ecosystem of sorts, comprising a wide range of contributors who participated in this project through its various stages: from concepting through editorial development, filming, interpretation, user experience design, video editing, data collection and visualization, and—as is key with any digital content—testing, testing, and more testing. This project has benefitted from tremendous amounts of goodwill, collaborative thinking, sacrificed personal time, and that magic spice, patience.
We thank the many contributors to the report’s concept, design, and production. The artwork produced by our media partners ranges from video to photography and graphic design. This work is often donated or contributed in-kind, or otherwise sourced from those who share their work through Creative Commons and other copyright-free licenses.
We are also grateful to our collaborators both within and outside of the foundation, with special thanks to our creative partners at Emerson, Wajdowicz Studios, Red Thread Productions, and Roswell Studios all of whom were fantastic. Most importantly, we extend our deepest appreciation to all the participants in the videos produced for this report. It is the call of their voices that we aim to amplify, so that their words and stories move ideas and minds to act in service of the harmony that is Arcus’ mission.
The production of this annual report was overseen by Bryan Simmons, vice president of communications, Sebastian Naidoo, global media director, Angela Cave, digital communications manager, and Jovahn Huertas, digital communications coordinator.
