Protecting the Mountain Gorillas of Virunga

Kabirizi is ensuring the long term survival of mountain gorillas!

Yes, there is another newborn in the Kabirizi family. We never tire of hearing this wonderful news, especially when we think of the war that was enraging Virunga, the Rangers and the gorillas only a year ago.

Karibu gave birth late last month – this is baby number 3 for her. The newborn will join his or her siblings, Kitagenda and Serundori. She has only been an adult since 2002 – so we hope she has more babies in her yet!

    Such a loving and moving picture of Karibu caring for her baby. It always brings tears to my eyes seeing these wonderful animals with their little ones.

    Wonderful news, Innocent! Each birth is precious. Thank you for the news and the lovely picture of Karibu and her baby. Let us know as soon as you can if it’s a boy or girl.

    God job Kabirizi, i think that you remember that your race is threatened!

  7. Hernan Hernan Says: 7 Oct 2009

    Great job, Kabirizi and Karibou!
    By the way, Diddy, in other post I commented that gorillas might have a sense of what´s going on, and you reminded me that they are “absolutely wild”.
    Now you think that Kabirizi also knows that their race is threatened?
    If so, great.
    Anyway, and as always, the best for you, for the rangers and for the gorillas!

    Look at Karibu!

    A great mum, proud and showing off her baby. Reminds me so much of homo sapien mothers.

    Well done sweetheart. Stay safe, happy and proud.
