“Thanks to our donors, we were able to respond immediately,” said Ariel Rogers, Executive Director of Friends of Bonobos. “Fencing was repaired and our bonobos remained safe throughout it all. The outpouring of generosity showed just how much this community cares, not just about the sanctuary, but about the future of this endangered species.”

GLOBIO wants to thank everyone who was able to donate to the Lola ya Bonobo Sanctuary after they faced severe flooding due to a powerful storm in Kinshasa. You made a huge difference! Their team worked tirelessly in the face of disaster and your support helped them respond quickly and keep these incredible bonobos safe.

"Most object manipulation is incredibly taxing on the joints of the wrists and the joints of the elbow, and so having that flexibility gives you the ability to say, make tools, gives you the ability to groom, gives you the ability to make gestures.

All of these building blocks stem from this initial sort of habitat difference and ecology between monkeys and apes that then got co-opted for hominin evolution." - Luke Fannin

"Jane tells the story of that when she views hope, she imagines being in a dark tunnel, and at the end of this dark tunnel, there's a speck of light, that small speck of light. And that small speck of light is hope. But it doesn't do us any good to sit there and hope that the light will become brighter. It's really up to us to walk toward that."

"We may stumble, we may fall, we may scrape our knees and bump our heads, but you keep going toward that. I think that's a really beautiful analogy of the way in which we can all approach it." -Anna Rathmann, executive director at the Jane Goodall Institute.
