Despite the large body of literature on ape conservation, much of the data needed for evidence‐based conservation decision‐making is still not readily accessible and standardized, rendering cross‐site comparison difficult. To support knowledge synthesis and to complement the IUCN SSC Ape Populations, Environments and Surveys database, we created the A.P.E.S. Wiki (https://apeswiki.eva.mpg.de), an open‐access platform providing site‐level information on ape conservation status and context. The aim of this Wiki is to provide information and data about geographical ape locations, to curate information on individuals and organizations active in ape research and conservation, and to act as a tool to support collaboration between conservation practitioners, scientists, and other stakeholders. To illustrate the process and benefits of knowledge synthesis, we used the momentum of the update of the conservation action plan for western chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes verus) and began with this critically endangered taxon. First, we gathered information on 59 sites in West Africa from scientific publications, reports, and online sources. Information was compiled in a standardized format and can thus be summarized using a web scraping approach. We then asked experts working at those sites to review and complement the information (20 sites have been reviewed to date). We demonstrate the utility of the information available through the Wiki, for example, for studying species distribution. Importantly, as an open‐access platform and based on the well‐known wiki layout, the A.P.E.S. Wiki can contribute to direct and interactive information sharing and promote the efforts invested by the ape research and conservation community. The Section on Great Apes and the Section on Small Apes of the IUCN SSC Primate Specialist Group will guide and support the expansion of the platform to all small and great ape taxa. Similar collaborative efforts can contribute to extending knowledge synthesis to all nonhuman primate species.

开放访问平台，用于综合各地点的猿猴保护知识

尽管有关猿类保护的文献很多，但基于证据的保护决策所需的许多数据仍不容易获得和标准化，因此难以进行跨站点比较。为了支持知识综合并补充IUCN SSC猿类种群，环境和调查数据库，我们创建了APES Wiki（https://apeswiki.eva.mpg.de），这是一个开放访问平台，提供有关猿类保护的站点级信息。状态和上下文。该Wiki的目的是提供有关猿类地理位置的信息和数据，收集有关活跃于猿类研究和保护的个人和组织的信息，并充当支持保护从业者，科学家和其他利益相关者之间合作的工具。为了说明知识综合的过程和好处，潘氏穴居人），并从这个极度濒危的分类单元开始。首先，我们从科学出版物，报告和在线资源中收集了西非59个站点的信息。信息以标准化格式进行编译，因此可以使用网络抓取方法进行汇总。然后，我们要求在这些站点工作的专家对信息进行审查和补充（迄今为止已对20个站点进行了审查）。我们展示了通过Wiki获得的信息的实用性，例如，用于研究物种分布。重要的是，APES Wiki作为一个开放访问平台并基于著名的Wiki布局，可以促进直接和交互式信息共享，并促进猿类研究和保护界的投入。IUCN SSC灵长类动物专家组的大猿科和小猿科将指导和支持将该平台扩展到所有小和大猿类群。类似的合作努力可以有助于将知识合成扩展到所有非人类灵长类物种。
