Whilst filming the trade in ivory within Kinshasa markets we were to visit a Bonobo sanctuary out side the city run by a dynamic and unique force of nature, Claudine Andre a Belgian who has spent much of her life working with this rare and highly endangered species of primates the Bonobo found only within the equatorial forest of the Congo DR.

As with much of this region Bonobos are increasingly under threat and as with elephants found across the forests of this equatorial heart of Africa Bonobos are also facing a precarious future.

Please help Green Heart Films to complete our film project on the ongoing crisis of poaching for ivory and other endangered species.
