conflict that has made them suffer for years), this is a great environment. Their new
human mothers take care of them the way their own mothers would and help them return
to the wild someday. For an endangered species like the bonobo, conservation with the
possibility of knowing love from family is a great opportunity. You will find that it is a sight
to see.
