Orphans like Balangala are victims of bushmeat trade - their mother has been killed by poachers. The baby bonobos are sometimes kept alive, and the poachers try to sell them as pets. As bonobos are endangered, all these activities are illegal.
Lola ya Bonobo, in collaboration with Congolese Authorities, rescue them. In the rehabilitation center they get a new chance to a life that was meant to be lived in the wild: they receive a substitute mother (a human one), and after a while they get reintegrated in one of the bonobo groups of Lola ya Bonobo. Years later, the successfully rehabilitated bonobos will be reintroduced to their natural habitat in the forests of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
