The ecological importance of great apes is widely recognised, yet few studies have highlighted the role protecting apes' habitats in mitigating climate change, particularly through carbon sequestration. This study used GIS tools to extract data from various sources, including International Union for Conservation Nature database, examine quantity and ape abundance African habitats. Subsequently, we employed a generalised linear model assess relationship between locally measured populations storage across areas with different levels protection. Our findings showed positive their storage, likely since conservation efforts may be strengthened higher populations. results reveal that gorilla exhibited than chimpanzee Specifically, inhabited by gorillas are associated mean increase 27.47 t/ha storage. Additionally, observed association highly protected within indicates stored 1.13 compared medium areas, which show reduction 15.49 t/ha. highlights critical play both species sequestration, contributing significantly mitigation efforts. Furthermore, our underscores significant contribution habitats, extending beyond highlighting potential synergistic strategies targeting Protecting vital reducing emissions deforestation boosting tropical forest sinks. Since nearly 90% live outside targeted these low-protected also crucial.
