A 20-year ban on industrial logging has been lifted in the Congo Basin, opening up the only home of endangered bonobos to even greater threats from deforestation and illegal poaching.
Without their rainforest home, these gentle apes won't survive. But there is a surefire way to save these bonobos: secure official protection for two million acres of rainforest, and defend it from loggers.
And we can help for as little as 1 £/€/$ per acre!
If enough of us chip in, our community-led partners can secure thousands of more acres of critical bonobo habitat right away. Can you help save the bonobos?
