FR thank you for this. How did you land on deforestation as your best angle?

As I work at the zoo talking with people about non-human primates, most people with whom I speak care about endangered species. This gives me a hook for getting into what people can do to support reversing deforestation, rewilding in particular to create forest corridors, and taking other actions to reduce climate change. Reversing deforestation is a pretty obvious need when you are talking about primates.

Often people care but don't know what to do.

So my audience gives me my best direction.

Do you know about the bonobos? I am just learning about their non-sexually coercive culture and it's blowing my mind.
