Bonobos could go extinct in our lifetime. We're on a mission to stop that.
What we do
We have a comprehensive and long-term approach to bonobo conservation.
We provide rescue, sanctuary and rewilding to endangered bonobos. We save rainforest where bonobos live. We work with communities and government to tackle the root causes of bonobo endangerment. We educate and raise awareness for bonobos and their plight locally and globally.
