Bonobo Conservation Initiative

The Bonobo Conservation Initiative (BCI) is an organization dedicated to protecting bonobos, a great ape species found only in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Bonobos are known for their peaceful behavior and social structures. BCI works to conserve their natural habitat, promoting sustainable practices and community involvement to reduce deforestation and illegal hunting. By educating local communities and advocating for policies that support wildlife protection, BCI aims to ensure the survival of bonobos and their ecosystems, fostering a balance between human needs and nature conservation. Their work is crucial for preserving biodiversity and supporting local livelihoods.
