Protecting the Mountain Gorillas of Virunga

Death in the Rugendo Family

11 Jul 2009 Filed under (Mountain Gorillas, Rugendo Family) by Eddy @ 10:44 am

Bad news have just come from the Bikenge Patrol Post informing us that the mountain gorilla Bariyanga from the Rugendo Group has been found dead in the forest.

The circumstances of the death are not yet clear, but MGVP veterinarians are performing the post-mortem this morning. I’ll post more info and pictures as soon I get them.
