Items related to Bonobos: Encounters in Empathy
Synopsis
Thought you knew all the great apes? Here's one many people don't know: the bonobo. This is the ape most like humans. It often walks upright, understands human sentences, plots politics worthy of Machiavelli, and shows empathy for other creatures. In bonobo culture, the females dominate and the norm is "make love, not war." Unfortunately, the only bonobos living in the wild inhabit a country where war and its devastating aftermath threaten their survival. Learn how the Milwaukee County Zoo in the heart of the Midwestern United States became home to the largest group of captive bonobos outside Democratic Republic of Congo, their native habitat. Discover how an empathetic female zookeeper created ways to communicate with them and improve their lives. Then follow a female researcher from the Zoological Society of Milwaukee (Wisconsin) to the heart of Africa, where this small Midwestern non-profit set up a research station and became a pioneer in saving bonobos by working directly with villagers. This is a tale of powerful females and empathetic males from two species learning a lot from each other.

About the Author
Jo Sandin has written about one of the largest zoos in the Midwestern United States - the Milwaukee County Zoo in Milwaukee, Wisconsin - during a span of 45 years. After graduation from the University of Texas at Austin in 1962, she moved to Wisconsin to work as a reporter for The Milwaukee Journal, the state's largest newspaper. The Zoo was an early assignment. When she retired in 2002 from The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (renamed after a merger in 1995), the award-winning environmental reporter had written about everything from agriculture to zebra mussels, with a few presidential campaigns and blizzards thrown in for good measure. She counted Zoo stories among her favorites. Now she enjoys taking her grandchildren to the Zoo.
