I am working with the Bonobo Conservation Initiative to protect nine million acres of bonobo habitat in the Democratic Republic of Congo (www.bonobo.org), and recently made a film about our efforts, featuring Ashley Judd (ourhomeplanet.us/special-places).

This picture is from filming at the bonobo orphanage near Kinshasa. The baby bonobos, whose mothers have been killed, are raised by human mothers and are very adapted to human interaction.
