Lola Ya Bonobo is a sanctuary for the endangered species. It was founded by Claudine Andre in 1994, Lola ya Bonobo is the world's only sanctuary which takes care of orphaned bonobos. They have around 100 bonobos here in a great natural habitat under full care and protection. There is a nursery to take care of baby bonobos who have been abandoned by their mothers.
