We are doing this generation, and generations to come a disfavor by not saving the Bonobo's. The disappearance of the Bonobo's will have an impact of the people of the Congo, their environment, the food chain, the ecosystem, their economy, and to humanity as a whole. It's pretty clear that if the Bonobo's become extinct, this will cause a domino's effect for the people of the Congo, and any connectivity that the Bonobo's brought to this planet.
The reproduction rate for a single Bonobo Mother is very low, considering they mate for life. A female Bonobo has 1-2 babies per year. This slows the "healing" process. (Regaining population) Since Bonobos live up to 40 years (without catching a fatal life threatning disease) We still have some hope to help the Bonobos reproduce more, and help them become not endangered.
