As part of the LuiKotale Bonobo Project, award-winning nature photographer Christian Ziegler has captured intimate portraits of these wild animals, revealing their unique personalities up close.
Today, behavioural biology also uses digital methods to collect long-term data on great apes and track the migratory movements of various animal species across vast landscapes. This exhibition offers a window into this important research, which aims to help protect the rapidly dwindling habitats of wildlife around the world.
