The Bonobo Sanctuary

The Bonobo Sanctuary is a protected refuge dedicated to rescuing, caring for, and rehabilitating bonobos—our closest relatives in the animal kingdom—who have been affected by habitat loss, illegal trade, or captivity. It provides a safe environment where bonobos can recover physically and socially, often forming complex social groups similar to their wild behavior. The sanctuary also plays an essential role in conservation efforts, raising awareness about bonobo threats and promoting their long-term survival in the wild. Overall, it combines animal welfare with conservation education to ensure these intelligent primates thrive.
