Photo by @FransLanting //Bonobos are our closest relatives on the great tree of life, along with chimpanzees. In the wild they only occur in a remote part of Africa’s Congo Basin where they are threatened by the bushmeat trade and civil unrest. I spent time with bonobos in the dimlit jungles of the Congo and combined that work with intimate portraits of captive individuals to reveal their personalities. This image shows a female named Loretta in a pensive pose. She became the cover for my book, “Bonobo, The Forgotten Ape,” co-produced with my friend, Dutch primatologist Frans de Waal. Our book was the first extended profile of bonobos for a popular audience, and helped people understand how unique bonobos are and how they differ from chimpanzees.
