The bonobo, along with the chimpanzee, is one of our two closest
living relatives. Their relatively narrow geographic range (south
of the Congo River in the Democratic Republic of Congo) combined
with the history of political instability in the region, has made
their scientific study extremely difficult. In contrast, there are
dozens of wild and captive sites where research has been conducted
for decades with chimpanzees. Because data sets on bonobos have
been so hard to obtain and so few large-scale studies have been
published, the majority of researchers have treated chimpanzee data
as being representative of both species. However, this
misconception is now rapidly changing. With relative stability in
the DRC for over a decade and a growing community of bonobos living
in zoos and sanctuaries internationally, there has been an
explosion of scientific interest in the bonobo with dozens of high
impact publications focusing on this fascinating species. This
research has revealed exactly how unique bonobos are in their
brains and behavior, and reminds us why it is so important that we
redouble our efforts to protect the few remaining wild populations
of this iconic and highly endangered great ape species.
