the bonobos will be released today! i just got this message from Pierrot, our education officer
'Everything is set to go! nine of the 17 bonboos selected for the release are soon arriving at Basankusu. A strong team of experts are coming with them: Claudine, Marielle, who will be looking after the release site, Gladez, a volunteer and the staff already here at Basankusu. Soem of the keepers will accompany the bonboos to the airport.
It's difficult to describe the emotion here. A page in a new story for us is opening... more soon!'
Pierrot
