Post Description

Nature Documentary hosted by Fergal Keane and published by BBC broadcasted as part of BBC Natural World series in 2006 - English narration

The bonobo is the least known of all the great apes thanks to its remote jungle home in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It's a different kind of chimp, shy and peace loving, and it gives us a remarkable insight into our own gentler side. Unlike the more violent common chimpanzees, bonobos live in peaceful societies ruled by females, where aggression is diffused by frequent sex. In the last few years their forest home has been overtaken by war, and scientists fear they are heading for extinction. This film follows Dr Frances White as she makes her first emotional journey back to the Congo to see if the bonobos she once studied have survived.
