Join Sally Jewell Coxe for a fascinating glimpse into the world of one of our closest great ape relatives, the bonobo. Bonobos were the last great ape to be discovered, and sadly, these magnificent beings face extinction due to hunting and habitat destruction. Working with Congolese partners, the Bonobo Conservation Initiative is leading efforts to safeguard bonobos and the vital rainforest in which they live. Ms. Coxe is the co-founder and president of the Bonobo Conservation Initiative. In this engaging, multimedia presentation, Ms. Coxe will share how protecting these peaceful, loving great apes can lead us all to a better future. Reception to follow.
