Artist's Comments

I was browsing through my older pictures and came across this photo of Rossi the Bonobos..I dont ever recall uploading it so I thought i might as well.

Bonobos are driven to extinction through the bush meat trade and the loss of habitat. The usually placid animals are an easy target for poachers in africa and very few species now survive naturally. once removed from their environment it is almost impossible to re-intergrate them into the wild.
