The Bonobo is an endangered great ape, the Bonobo is endangered because of the deforestation, poaching, and increasing population of suburbs is driving the Bonobo out of their natural habitat.
The Bonobo is a bit smaller and have darker hair than the chimpanzee. They have different troop orders with a female leader and tend to be more peaceful and often solve conflicts with mating. They are found in the forest of the Congo Basin.
They were not recognized as an individual species till 1929. Not much is known about the Bonobo because of its isolated habitat, deforestation, and being prized for its bush meat. There is 10,000 to 50,000 they weigh 68 to 86 pounds are 28 to 35 inches.
The Bonobo can be protected by asserting boundaries, promoting awareness of the Bonobo, and increase heavier fines and punishment for illegal poaching.
I chose the Bonobo because there isn’t a lot of information and little is known about this primate. If we could stop it’s extinction we could study it and learn about Africa in general.
