Abstract
AbstractDetails of breeding orangutans and gorillas at the Jersey Wildlife Preservation Trust are reviewed, with special reference to the diversity of managerial requirements and reproductive parameters for the two species of great apes represented. The importance of recording and publishing as much data as possible to provide important guidelines for others involved with the same or related species in captivity, as well as such information contributing directly to conservation in the wild, is underlined. The Jersey Trust's involvement with cooperative and coordinated breeding programs for the two species on both a national and international basis is reported, and prospects for future long‐term management strategies are outlined.
