Congo chimps struggle to survive

The video discusses bonobos, one of humanity's closest relatives, found only in the Congolese jungle. They face threats of extinction due to hunting and illegal trafficking. A sanctuary has been working for 12 years to save orphaned bonobos, nurturing them until they can survive independently. Bonobos have a unique social structure where females dominate, and sex is crucial for communication. Genetically, they are very similar to humans, sharing 99% of our genes. This genetic closeness may offer insights into curing diseases like AIDS, as bonobos can carry HIV without developing AIDS.
