Summary
The bonobos, alongside chimpanzees, are our closest relatives. The author investigates the problems facing the bonobos – industrial and urban encroachment, aggressive resource extraction by foreign companies, the civil war and genocide which had wreaked havoc on the Congo, the… trade in bush-meat. In the Bonobo Conservation Institute, he recognizes a unique post-colonial model for conservation initiatives which, if replicated, might provide one of the only hopes for making the world a better, more equitable place. 2015.
