Surrogate Mama Yvonne with Orphaned Bonobo at Lola ya Bonobo Sanctuary

The bond between surrogate mothers and orphaned bonobos is special. In the wild, bonobos stay with their moms for up to 5 years! This relationship is vital for the survival of the bonobo and their integration into their troop. At Lola ya Bonobo Sanctuary, rescued bonobos are paired with human surrogate mothers who provide the affection, care, and life skills that the bonobos need to survive, join the semi-wild adult enclosures, and eventually return to the wild.
Bonobos are NOT PETS. Bonobos on our page seen with humans are with trained caretakers, essential for their survival.
