    So hard to see those babies in that condition…however, it was nice to see you on the program last night! Hope you are well!

    Diddy, You did a great job in the National Geographic documentary. I agree with Annie. It was a very difficult program to watch. Alot of us have looked at those pictures for a year now and it never gets any easier. And then last night there was actual video footage of Senkwekwe being carred out on the stretcher. It was tough. I can’t imagine being there and witnessing it all right there in front of my eyes. Diddy, I’m sure it did feel like you lost members of you family. How can you feel any different when you have spent the amount of time with these families that you and all the other Rangers have. And now to be seperated from them is horrible. Never far from my thoughts. Lisa

    I had to work the night of the documentary. Im hoping to catch it when it re-plays. Thank you for linking the video. Even the short video was hard to watch. Seeing Senkwekwe on the stretcher and being able to see his full size next to the men. I imagine the people watching the programme felt the same.

    Take care.

    Dear Diddy,
    Thank you for being one of the heroes working to save the gorillas in Virunga. It is very evident how much rangers put their lives on the line and make so many sacrifices to save our beloved wildlife. We are so grateful! It was very difficult to watch this broadcast but so important to get the real story out there so the world can understand your immediate needs and do whatever we can to help save this species. I was very happy to see how well the two rescued juveniles are doing in the sanctuary. Are the UN forces going to stay in the area? Seems critical to have them there to address the rebels and charcoal mafia in the forest. Otherwise, this habitat will be lost? Now that the real criminal has been arrested, will it be possible to dismantle the charcoal mafia? What kind of resources are there for aerial surveillance to stop trees from being cut down? I was amazed there were so many sites within the park with 200 people employed to produce charcoal at each site. How fast can the ngos get alternative fuels to local communities? It is also important that the surrounding humanitarian crisis be addressed and villagers encouraged to return to their homes away from the park. I see from your blogs that all of these issues are being addressed but I hope the Natl Geo broadcast will generate more funding and resources to intervene to save our gorillas. thank you!

    Jonny, I don’t know if you can watch the documentary online, but here’s the NatGeo Web site for the documentary and the magazine story: http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/series/explorer/3817/Overview
