Today, between just 50,000 and 15,000 individuals remain. Humans are the biggest threat to their survival. Young apes are caught and sold as pets, while bonobo meat is sold for high prices in markets. They are also losing their habitat due to the clearing of forests. #worldbonoboday #apes | DW Environment | Facebook
