Into the Congo's Uncharted Depths

Fay embarks on an ambitious expedition, trekking through treacherous terrain and navigating the complexities of a volatile political landscape. Led by a team of local rangers and scientists, he ventures deep into the Congo Basin, where bonobos have been pushed to the brink of extinction by poaching, disease, and deforestation.

The Forgotten Apes

Bonobos, known as the "forgotten apes," share 98.7% of their DNA with humans and possess remarkable intelligence and empathy. Unlike their aggressive chimpanzee cousins, bonobos live in peaceful, matriarchal societies, relying on cooperation and compassion. As Fay witnesses firsthand, their fate hangs in the balance.
