Back into the Wild: Ekola ya Bonobo sanctuary reintroduces bonobos to the Congo Basin forests

A troop of 14 bonobos is on the verge of being released into the forests of the Democratic Republic of Congo. The Congolese conservation group Amis des Bonobos du Congo (ABC) is working to make sure the communities surrounding the release site feel invested in the project. This will be the second group to be reintroduced into the Congo Basin forests after being trafficked or born in captivity. Before they are released, they will have to relearn how to feed themselves so they can survive on their own in the wild.

Bonobos are closely related to humans, so anyone who kills a Bonobo should be tried for Murder and anyone who eats a Bonobo should be categorised as a Cannibal. Bonobos are precious beings and need to be protected at all costs. Thank you for the hard work that you are doing.

Are the people of the forest aware that they could live healthy lives by eating a vegetarian diet? Many of us in the industrialized world do not eat meat at all, even though it is available everywhere. Could they not farm and grow all their own food and even sell it to others if they plant enough. I'm just curious, since I don't know much about their lifestyle and culture.

Those little monkeys loved those peanuts.

[@elikinder1506]

Eating the monkeys seem such a sick thing to do by being so close to humans.

I hope more. Bonobos get poached on a daily basis. They are nothing but food
