Dear Friends, As we were finalizing this report, World Pride 2019 was getting under way in New York. We gathered Arcus staff, Board, and a few friends to celebrate and reflect upon the 50th anniversary of the 1969 uprising at the Stonewall Inn in New York City, a seminal raising of voices in protest considered by many the beginning of the LGBTQ movement. Oddly enough, what came to my mind were whispers. I was thinking about where we stand in the journey we are on— adding up victories and subtracting setbacks in a strange sort of math—and my mind went back about 20 years to conversations in public places in Kalamazoo, Michigan, where I often met with Arcus’ first executive director to plot the project that would eventually become the Foundation. Whenever we said the words gay or lesbian, we felt it necessary to whisper. We had so thoroughly internalized the idea that it was controversial and even dangerous to speak those words in that time and place. Later, after adding the ape conservation work, we would discover that it can be just as controversial or dangerous to speak about conservation in some spaces and places. It can be confusing to assess what has changed for the better since then because each day brings a mix of conflicting and sometimes surprising signs. We have just witnessed the legalization of samesex marriages in Taiwan and same-sex relationships in Botswana, but we have also seen the United States move to erase trans health benefits from its healthcare law. We’ve seen the U.S. step away from environmental protections while the number of wealthy Chinese nationals committing resources to conservation is growing. Recently, the United Nations warned that a million species are accelerating their approach to extinction. Its report stated it perfectly: “The health of ecosystems on which we and all other species depend is deteriorating more rapidly than ever. We are eroding the very foundations of our economies, livelihoods, food security, health and quality of life worldwide.” There are multiple layers of truth in that stark statement. The negative part is obvious, but the statement acknowledges, too, a much-ignored connection between people living in harmony with one another and people respecting the natural world of which

LETTERS

we are part. There is a tremendous amount of promise in the integration of social justice, and environmental justice, and more people are beginning to talk about it. The voices of human rights and environmental justice have risen well above a whisper—urging, warning, and even shouting, some might say. The newly elected president of Mexico pronounced that his country must extend full rights to its LGBTQ citizens and similarly, over the past two years, the Vatican and the United Nations have joined their voices with those of conservationists— clearly amid controversy. Whether the question is which rights should be extended to LGBTQ people or how to balance human economic needs with conservation of non-human animals and the environment, these great, public conversations are promising—if painful—signs that together, we are transcending whispers and our messages are being heard. History tells us these debates can be gateways to change—toward the moment when we all see ourselves as part of nature and make the choice to love and preserve it and ourselves because the fact is that diversity and biodiversity are all that there is. The initiators of many of these conversations are partners or grantees of Arcus, like the inspiring actors featured in this report. They give me hope and inspire me to use my own voice and resources to amplify those of others until we one day realize our dreams of justice, peace, respect, and harmony. I created Arcus to make possible more of the kind of work our partners do, and I could never do that well without the support, expertise, and commitment of the Foundation’s amazing co-executive directors, staff, and Board members, who do more and engage more deeply in the work with every year that goes by. I can’t thank them enough or too often. I thank you, too, for your interest in Arcus and any related work you are doing. I truly hope you find this report both instructive and inspiring. In Partnership,

Jon L. Stryker, President and Founder

Dear Friends, On behalf of everyone at Arcus, we are pleased to share with you our 2018 Annual Report. At this writing, some of our team members are headed to separate destinations in Africa to engage with Arcus partners in the programs and work that we lead respectively for the Foundation. Now in our third year as co-executive directors, we continue to marvel at the many ways in which our programs converge, not only geographically but also in the factors and threats that weigh on our prospects for success in advancing LGBTQ rights and ape conservation. A constantly changing landscape is the greatest challenge that we share; even as we and our partners pursue well-formulated strategies, shape-shifting threats routinely require adaptive refinements to our programmatic responses: n The declaration by the Republic of China that it will pursue its “Belt and Road” initiative, in alignment with sustainability goals. The initiative will link country markets and energy reserves from the Arctic to the Indian, Pacific, and Atlantic Oceans through 7,000 infrastructure and extractive industry projects via roads, railways, and ports funded, in part, by China. Many of the projects are in economically stressed countries and pose threats to both non-human animals and to the poorest among local human populations. n A pattern of authoritarian governments in resource-strapped economies scapegoating LGBTQ people—criminalizing their sexuality or gender identity, and exposing them to violence. n Strong and growing opposition to civil society organizations whether working in social or environmental justice—and to political dissent in general—in places like Uganda and Honduras, making it harder to collaborate. n An aggressive rollback by the U.S. administration of policy gains won by transgender Americans, including coverage of transgender health needs under the Affordable Care Act of 2010. n The promotion of mountain gorillas from critically endangered to endangered, signaling progress but not victory toward our longer-term goals of sustained populations, a decision that risks complacency and a relaxation of measures that have brought about the moderate growth in this gorilla population.

SOCIAL JUSTICE

These pressures interact with and reinforce each other even as they weave themselves through both our streams of work. They also negatively affect the safety, opportunity, and inclusion of many other marginalized populations, including women and girls, the poor, immigrants, and others.

We work in regions where we believe we can have the greatest impact with our finite resources. We focus on advancing policy, protections, and social change to ensure the physical safety, acceptance, and inclusion of those most marginalized because of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or the intersection of these with their age or status as people of color.

The Social Justice and Great Apes & Gibbons Programs each work on several interconnected fronts to build resilience and resources for the movement to respond: n Offering multiyear, general operating support to as many longterm grantees as we can. n Providing recurring opportunities for grantees to work together on mid- and long-term coordination. n Building partnerships with other funders and grantees to focus on the role funders can play in movement building, capacity building, and power building. n Defining with grantees meaningful indicators and related data that we can use to measure our success in advancing near- and long-term strategies and to determine the need for changes to those strategies. You will see these approaches and our dual focus on populations and individuals evident in the stories shared in this report. The dynamic nature of our movements and work requires a longterm commitment to learning. We take that commitment seriously, and this report is in part an invitation to you to learn with us and to get or stay involved in this important work. The individuals featured within are among our best teachers and models for action. We hope they and their stories affect you as they do all of us here at the Foundation— enriching you, inspiring you, and feeding your resolve to push boundaries and make change. In Partnership,

Annette Lanjouw & Jason McGill, Co-Executive Directors

“I try to bring humanity back to them, on the inside, and when they’re released.”—Alma Rosa Silva-Bañuelos is a community organizer who works with transgender asylum seekers detained in Cibola County, New Mexico, as a rapid response coordinator for the TransLatin@ Coalition, which connects individuals to legal assistance and social services across the country.

Some 28 transphobic murders in the United States were recorded during 2018,1 the second year in a row in which more than two dozen trans people are known to have been killed.

Groundbreaking cases on trans military service and gay, lesbian, and trans civil rights were taken to the Supreme Court during the last year, while the House of Representatives passed a bill that attempted to address the lack of legal protections in a majority of U.S. states, where anti-LGBTQ discrimination in employment, housing, and public accommodations remains legal.

“I know myself who I am, but my country doesn’t recognize me, or other trans people. But changing my name has to be more than a legal act. Acceptance also has to come from deeper within our society.”—Nahil Zerón is a human rights defender at Red Lésbica Cattrachas in Honduras. He grew up in a family descended from the Lenca people, who for generations have fought for their rights as indigenous Central Americans.

“I

In 2018, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights advised member nations in the region to recognize trans identities and rights.4

“The impact of this ruling will be broad. Although it’s not legally binding, it will shape the way the whole system interprets the question of inclusion.”—Stefano Fabeni is executive director of Washington, D.C.-based Synergía, an organization working on gender, sexuality, and human rights, with a focus on Latin America, the Caribbean, and Africa.

Want the State to Recognize Who I Am”

“One of our major achievements so far is that LGBT Hondurans have organized and created spaces that bring visibility in spite of intense violence and even assassination.”

Some 312 LGBTI murders, recognized as hate crimes, were recorded by Red Lésbica Cattrachas in Honduras alone between 2009 and 2019; fewer than 20 of the cases prosecuted resulted in convictions.

ARCUS FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT 2018

“Homosexuality and religion are very difficult to talk about together. But religion plays a very big role in influencing opinions, and even laws.” —Ishmael Bahati, executive director of PEMA Kenya, attended a 2019 religious dialogue, organized with Global Interfaith Network, which trained 27 LGBTI Christians and Muslims aiming to build bridges with their church and mosque leaders.

In a ruling thought to be the first in which an African court overruled a church, a provincial high court in South Africa issued an order in March 2019 reversing a prohibition by the Dutch Reformed Church on same-sex marriages and the ordination of lesbian and gay clergy.

“Doors are starting to open because of the relationships built over the years.” —Ecclesia de Lange is the director of South Africa-based Inclusive and Affirming Ministries, which supported the constitutional challenge to the Dutch Reformed Church.

LGBT Africans Push for Acceptance Bahati took part in an August 2018 religion and media stakeholder training in Johannesburg, South Africa, led by Taboom Media, aimed at amplifying the voices of LGBTQI+ faith advocates and communities in priority East and Southern African countries.

Hopeful activists at a 2019 Kenya High Court hearing on the country’s legal ban on same-sex relations were later disappointed by a ruling that upheld the legislation.

While African countries make up 32 of approximately 70 nations criminalizing homosexuality, Angola and Botswana in 2019 joined a group of more than a dozen countries on the continent that have either never explicitly criminalized same-sex relations or that have repealed such legislation. Kenya’s High Court in May, however, rejected a challenge to its anti-sodomy law.

Mountain Gorilla Conservation at a Crossroads The relative stability of the mountain gorilla population is rooted in decades of conservation work since the 1970s, including regular censuses, close monitoring of individuals, anti-poaching patrols, veterinary interventions, habituation of groups for tourism, community education, and inter- governmental collaboration— all despite periods of intensive armed conflict in the region.

“We have to sustain and enhance what we know to be working.” —Anna Behm Masozera is the director of the International Gorilla Conservation Programme.

“Mountain gorilla tourism means markets for my products, money, meeting new people, learning new things, and development for me and my community.” —Tumusiime Fausta is a craftmaker in Kahurire village, Rwanda.

“Only 1,000 remain of this gorilla. Simply because the population is moving up, we can’t turn our backs on them.” —Martha Robbins is a research scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology and co-author of the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List of Threatened Species.

ARCUS FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT 2018

Borneo is the planet’s third largest island, and its rainforest is the oldest and one of the most biodiverse, home to about 15,000 plant species and 220 species of terrestrial mammals, including orangutans, elephants, rhinos, and leopards.

Borneo Indigenous Leader Boosts Security for Orangutans and Neighbors

By 2020, Borneo will have lost three-quarters of the rainforest that was present in 1950, according to a projection by the World Wildlife Fund. More than half of West Kalimantan’s forest cover has been wiped out during the last 20 years by the oil palm industry, mining, and logging.

“I realized that if I didn’t solve the economic problems of local people first, they’d continue to fight with the orangutans for natural resources.” —Wendi Tamariska is the sustainable livelihoods manager at Gunung Palung Orangutan Conservation Project (GPOCP), and a member of West Kalimantan’s native Dayak community, who have subsisted for centuries in the western part of Borneo. He won a 2019 conservation award from the Whitley Fund for Nature.

Gunung Palung National Park, a 108,000-hectare protected area in West Kalimantan, hosts a rich array of plant and animal species, including one of three critically endangered orangutan subspecies, Pongo pygmaeus wurmbii.

The estimated 5,000 orangutans that live in and around Gunung Palung comprise close to 10 percent of Borneo’s remaining orangutan population.

For the last seven years, a national association has purchased handicrafts from GPOCP-trained artisan groups on a monthly basis and, within recent years, 11 former loggers have signed agreements to halt deforestation and protect orangutans in exchange for livelihood support.

Infrastructure Projects Pose Risks for Guinea’s Chimps

Conservationists are alarmed over the potential impact of a proposed major hydropower project, the Koukoutamba dam— in the Moyen-Bafing National Park in central Guinea—whose construction would displace thousands of local people and chimpanzees for electricity that is likely to be used to power bauxite mining.

Two-year-old Simon, a western chimpanzee, was rescued near Conakry, Guinea’s capital, in 2018. He was severely traumatized and is thought to have been pushed out of his home in the country’s northwest by bauxite mining activities. He now lives at the Chimpanzee Conservation Center in conditions as close as possible to his natural habitat.

“When Simon arrived at the sanctuary, he was sad, like a lost baby. Now, he shares a baby hut where he’s supposed to nap, but we often hear him laughing with the others instead of sleeping!” —Dr. Christelle Colin is the executive director of the Chimpanzee Conservation Center.

arcus.link/simon “It’s not a choice between development or conservation. We could look at which type of energy is best for the people of Guinea that also does not impact wildlife.” —Dirck Byler is the great ape conservation director of Global Wildlife Conservation.

Guinea is Africa’s top producer of bauxite, a key material in the production of aluminum, and is the biggest exporter of bauxite to China, the world’s largest aluminum producer. Bauxite reserves in Guinea are concentrated in the country’s northwest, where mining activities overlap with the range of the critically endangered western chimpanzee.7

SIERRA LEONE CÔTE D’IVOIRE

More than two-thirds of West Africa’s 52,800 western chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes verus) live in Guinea, according to research published in May 2019.8 Less than one-fifth of this critically endangered population lives in state-managed protected areas, such as national parks.

LIBERIA Dams planned or under construction Installed dams Source: State of the Apes – Infrastructure Development and Ape Conservation

While Guinea’s mineral wealth makes it potentially one of Africa’s richest countries, the United Nations includes it as one of the continent’s 33 Least Developed Countries and ranks it at 175 of 189 countries in the latest Human Development Index.6 More than half of its population lives below the poverty line.
