Amani in the News- and How You Can Help…
For a change, there isn’t war on the news, but peace. Or should I say “Amani,” which means peace in Swahili and is also the name of the baby female gorilla rescued last week.
A number of TV news shows this evening have or will be featuring segments of our video of Amani’s rescue. So far it has been on the evening news on TF1 (for you Francophones out there: scroll forward to 27m20s) ; BBC News homepage (where it is right now fourth most watched video: help us make it first!); and the homepage of Yahoo. Basically, we gave a tape to Reuters for distribution and many broadcasters have chosen to show it.
Amani recovering with Andre
Please send us the links of other places/channels you see this story- it helps us track the coverage.
Indeed, this kind of coverage is great, but what is equally important is that they link to us so people can find out how to help. Many haven’t this time around because the video was provided via Reuters.
But in that domain you can help us and the gorillas- please link to us on your homepage. Or if you don’t have a website, ask that geeky friend of yours who does!
For those of you who have already signed up as a friend (if you haven’t do it here in one easy step) just login and go to your cockpit at “My Virunga.” There on the right you will see several choices of banners you can easily embed to link us and help spread the word about Virunga National Park and the gorillas.
Thank you for helping us spread the word!

Several belgian have also printed an article dedicated to the rescue of the gorilla orphan.
Several belgian newspapers… as I wanted to say..
Can you put the link at the end of the clip (like under the logo)? That might help in future videos.
Thank you Stijn and good idea Kel - we can certainly do that.
Sent the story to CNN in the US. Hope they do a piece on it! The picture of Amani and Andre is so precious! She looks so content. To see the fear gone from her eyes is so heartwarming. Thank you Andre for your love and care of her. Love from the U.S.
