Mission Statement

The Bonobo Conservation Initiative was founded to address the extreme crisis facing bonobos, humankind's closest great ape relatives. Distinguished by their peaceful, "make love, not war" society and extraordinary intelligence, bonobos are struggling for survival in the wake of war in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the only country where they are found. Highly endangered, they inhabit the heart of the world's second largest rainforest. BCI?s mission is to promote conservation of the bonobo and its tropical rainforest habitat. We are working with indigenous communities, Congolese and international partners to implement innovative conservation strategies and to raise global awareness about bonobos. To this end, BCI works to foster a conservation and environmental ethic in the US and worldwide to promote participation in programs and awareness of issues concerning rainforests, endangered species, global climate change, watersheds, indigenous rights and community development issues.

Leadership

Ms. Sally Coxe

Profile:

Sally Jewell Coxe is BCI's co-founder. Formerly on staff at National Geographic where her interest in bonobos began, Sally is a conservationist and writer with background in psychology and marketing. Through seven years of research, including first hand investigations in the Congo, she has networked around the world on behalf of bonobos. The BCI was created because so little was being done to help these endangered apes, or to empower the people of Congo. Her vision for the Initiative is to raise awareness about bonobos and their cooperative, peaceful society, unify an international coalition, and catalyze conservation efforts in the Congo--while there's still time to make a difference.
