John,

A 20-year ban on industrial logging has been lifted in the Congo Basin,
opening up the only home of endangered bonobos to even greater threats
from deforestation and illegal poaching.

Without their rainforest home, these gentle apes won't survive. But there
is a surefire way to save these bonobos: secure official protection for
two million acres of rainforest, and defend it from loggers.

And we can help for as little as £1 / €1 / $1 per acre!

If everyone reading this email chips in, our community-led partners can
secure thousands of more acres of critical bonobo habitat right away. Can
you help save the bonobos?

Something truly magical is being built in the enormous Congo Basin
rainforest: the “Bonobo Peace Forest”.

Under the lush, dense canopies of the world’s second largest rainforest,
the Bonobo Conservation Initiative and local communities are working
together to connect a network of nature reserves to be managed by the
people who live there. This beautiful model creates sustainable sources of
income for local communities and a safe habitat for bonobos and other
endangered animals – all while protecting the Congo Basin from rampant
deforestation.

But with the ban on industrial logging effectively lifted, and many more
applications in process, we need to move fast.

Every one of us donating today could make a lasting impact on the survival
of bonobos and the Congo Basin rainforest – and will help power our
campaigns to protect other crucial rainforests. John, can you
chip in to help?
