The Bonobo Conservation Initiative (BCI) is a nonprofit organization focused on ensuring the survival of the bonobo and its tropical forest habitat in the Congo Basin. It works through cooperative conservation and community development with indigenous Congolese communities, alongside efforts at national and international levels to establish protected areas and safeguard bonobos wherever they are found. The organization brings together people from diverse disciplines who share an emphasis on rainforest protection as a means to mitigate global warming and promote peace and prosperity in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Based in Washington, DC, BCI engages in field and policy work aimed at conservation outcomes and habitat protection, with a mission rooted in collaborative partnerships and on-the-ground preservation efforts.
