Congo Photo Gallery: Expedition Bonobo The only jungle dwellers more mysterious than the Iyaelima people are the rare bonobo apes that live alongside them. A perilous expedition into the Democratic Republic of the Congo hopes to establish contact that will help preserve them both. Photograph by Robert J. Ross
On our first night at Ila, the entire village came to our camp to welcome us with traditional song and dance. The sights and sounds were perfect for a tropical African night. After watching and listening to the performance for quite some time, I fell asleep to the music of our new neighbors. —Photographer Robert J. Ross
