Fanny Minesi grew up in the Democratic Republic of Congo where she now directs Friends of Bonobos of Congo (ABC), a 30-year-old non-profit organization dedicated to protecting the endangered bonobo and their rainforest home. She manages over 100 staff members between Lola ya Bonobo, the world’s only bonobo sanctuary and environmental education center, and Ekolo ya Bonobo, a 120,000-acre community reserve in the heart of the rainforest. A passionate leader of community-based conservation, Ms. Minesi will share triumphs and heartbreaks in her work with bonobos and with local communities to manage the reserve in this vital and vulnerable landscape. Ms. Minesi received the 2023 Tusk Award for Conservation in Africa.
