Less dense populations exist in other habitat types, including montane forests, seasonally dry forests, and savannah-woodlands. Diversity, Equity, Accessibility, and InclusionĬhimpanzees dwell mainly in the tropical rainforest belt of central Africa but are opportunistic enough feeders to survive in other habitats as well.The political instability in the DRC has had a major impact on the decline of bonobos. Recent surveys show that many areas had bonobos 20 years ago but now they have none. They can survive in close proximity to human communities that are willing to cohabitate with these peaceful apes. Only a small portion of their habitat is protected and deforestation is rapidly destroying the rest. Estimates from the four strongholds, suggest a minimum of 15,000 to 20,000 individuals remain. Total bonobo population numbers are unknown because only 30 percent of its historic range has been surveyed. Only 28 percent of their geographic range is suitable and only four distinct bonobo strongholds have been identified - Maringa-Lopori-Wamba, Tshuapa-Lomami-Lualaba, Solong, and Lac Tumba-Lac Mai Ndombe. Their discontinuous range extends from the Lualaba River in the east to the Kasai/Sankuru rivers in the south and as far as the Congo River in the west and around Lake Tumba/Lake Mai-Ndombe. They are found only in the Democratic Republic of Congo. As a result, population growth cannot happen fast enough to counter high levels of poaching, habitat loss, and human encroachment. However, females give birth to a single infant every five to six years, and they tend to nurse and carry their babies for five years. Their population is shrinking and reproduction is slow.įemales become sexually mature after they are 12 years old and may give birth soon after. Industrial extraction could also become a big risk to the species' future as 99.2 percent of their range and habitat has been found to be suitable for palm oil. Logging and subsistence agriculture are also a threat. The civil strife has also caused an increase of destruction and degradation to the bonobo habitat.
These great apes are also targeted by poachers because of their large size. Locals depend on the wildlife for protein - even if it’s meat from endangered species. Due to war in the Democratic Republic of Congo, illegal activities in the national parks have continued unchecked. Unfortunately, only a small portion of their habitat is protected.
