Friends of Bonobos
We save bonobos and their rainforest home.
Bonobos could go extinct in our lifetime. We're on a mission to stop that. We do this through rescue, sanctuary, and rewilding, and by partnering with local communities to tackle root causes and save rainforest.
We have a comprehensive and long-term approach to bonobo conservation:
1. We rescue endangered bonobos that have been orphaned by the illegal trade in wildlife and give them essential care and sanctuary as long as needed, and then, when possible, release them back into the rainforest.
2. We partner with and support Congolese communities near bonobo habitat to save rainforests, and we manage and protect the forest preserve, ensuring wildlife and their rainforest home are protected for the long term.
3. We raise global and local awareness of endangered bonobos and the root causes that threaten their survival, and we work with local and international authorities to uphold and strengthen the laws supporting endangered wildlife.
