ALIVEWINTER 200623 Africa it s home to some of the most endangered primatesin the world: gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos. It s also home to intense poverty, poaching, and political instability. Wildlifeconservation on that continent faces immense obstacles. Yet conservation there has been gaining ground, partly with the helpof the Zoological Society of Milwaukee (ZSM) and its conservationcoordinator, Dr. Gay Reinartz. Her efforts to protect bonobos, therarest of the great apes, brought her to the attention of one of the world s leading conservation groups, the World Wildlife Fund(WWF). As a result, WWF has partnered with the ZoologicalSociety on African projects. Dr. Reinartz has been studying bonobos in Africa s CongoRiver Basin for years while also training Congolese to conductresearch and set up anti-poaching programs. In 1996 she met Dr. Richard Carroll, director of WWF s Office for Central Africaand Madagascar Programs, including the Congo Basin ForestPartnership, when he was in Milwaukee.
