SAVE THE BONOBO APE WHICH IS NEAREST RELATIVE TO HUMAN BEING

Arguably humans’ closest relatives, Bonobo apes are endemic to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Compared to chimpanzees, Bonobo apes have longer legs, shorter arms and a narrower mid-section. They also exhibit a rounder skull and flatter face. The many years of civil unrest in DRC have stopped conservation efforts for the Bonobo apes which are threatened by poaching and habitat loss.
