the visit to the sanctuary

       After all that introducing, we can finally get to the point where I get to visit the only bonobo sanctuary in the world. It is called "Lola Ya Bonobo", which means paradise for bonobos.

   
 As always, before the good stuff, there is always the introduction. Lola Ya Bonobo is founded by a woman named Claudine.So she saw this bonobo at the zoo, and everyone told her that the bonobo wouldn't survive. And it did, because she helped the bonobo. When there's one, there's more, and, gradually, she couldn't keep up with only one person, and started a bonobo sanctuary in 1993.
     Now, here's some bad news! The runway at the Kinshasa Airport was bombed, so I can't get there!! Guess I'll have to visit their website instead.
    According to the website, the sanctuary was built because they wanted to educate locals about bonobos. Because by doing that, we coulds prevent all those bush meat hunting, and also stop deforestation.
    Well folks, that's the end of this update. Remember, next time will be the season finale, so be sure not to miss it! Bye bye ! ©2013 Yale Wang
