When Kids Take Action
Some days, blogging about the bonobos is really difficult. We do a lot of our research looking for recent bonobo news – and it isn’t always good. We know you all know this, but the bonobos are in trouble. They need our help because their land in the DRC is shrinking – so is their food supply. The bonobos are being hunted and hurt by people. When we start to get this sad, and we just can’t find any good news, we think about you.
We think about how great it is that you tune in to our blog to find out how you can help the bonobos. When we start thinking about what you do every day to help your ape cousins, we start to smile. From your letters to us, we know that you are recycling, reducing your carbon footprint, telling your friends about I’m Lucy, and even making donations with your allowance. Some of you are creating brand new ways to help save the bonobos. And, we know that you will keep up this great work.
Today would be a perfect day to hear from you! Write us and tell us more stories about all of the good things that are happening! Things you are doing for the bonobos and the environment…how are you spreading the word?

I have an organization called Kids Save Apes:
In 2007, I went to the Bronx Zoo, and was blown away by the gorillas. I became “Gorilla Girl”. My parents got me the movie Gorillas in the Mist, and during the poaching scenes in the end, I was so terrified, I adopted a gorilla from the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund right after. But I wanted to do more to help. I gathered my friends to form ‘Kids Save Apes’. I made a website, an email address, and spread the plight of the apes. I notified teachers, parents, kids, sentators, representatives, the president! Before I knew it, I had raised $1,000 standing in the cold winter telling everyone about the cause. This May, I get to meet Dr Jane Goodall with my Co-President James Brooks. On May 3rd, we hope to raise $800 dollars to adopt 16 apes.
Thats how I’m taking part. And I am only 11
