Is there a SSP or SAFE listing for Bonobos in N. America?

I am looking for a website (much like the SSP one for Gorillas) that. shows the pedigree of all the Bonobos in North American Zoos. I know there are only 6 zoos and one research facility (or only 6 now with the death Kenzie the Bonobo in Iowa) that has them and that there are not many in those 6 Zoo. I love the gorilla one that is online with all the information as where they are now, their parents, their siblings, off spring as well as well as birth and death and who owns them.

For those of us who love bonobos it would be great to have a site where one can see how interconnected the ones are in North America as well as those also in Europe facilities as well. Anyone know of a site? I work as volunteer at one of the zoos that have them and they have become a huge favorite.

There is a species species survival plan and SAFE program for them but I don’t know how well it’s doing

The Milwaukee Zoo back in the 1990s had the SSP but then they switched to a SAFE plan I think and it is monitored differently. They haven't done an online site for the public to see how they're all connected as there so few of them I believe less 200 in NA zoos. We have 18 at the MKE zoo, but I was just hoping someone had made an online site like the ones for gorillas that is wonderful.

I'm not sure if there is a specific site with information regarding Bonobos, but we do have this thread here on ZooChat:

North American Bonobo Population

And there's something slightly similar for European zoos:

Thank you I will check them out. I do people genealogy so doing pedigree charts for animals is easy and interesting. I love to see how they are all interconnected especially with a small population like Bonobos.
 
Is there a Thread that would include a list of the SAFE Species of Animals and a history of each new species being added?

There are 7 zoos and one research facility that currently have bonobos. There are a total of 80 bonobos (36.44) in the United States. Go to the Ape Initiative website, and under bonobo welfare, there is a listing of all the bonobos. Bonobos in the US — Ape Initiative
