Protecting the Mountain Gorillas of Virunga

Here is a video of the health check for baby gorilla Shamavu. He will be going to GRACE gorilla sanctuary for lowland gorillas very soon, as long as he is healthy, and will do his 30-day required quarantine there. It is somethings hard to watch the vets from MGVP work, but they are all professionals and have saved many mountain and lowland gorillas over the years.

    Shamavu is too cute for words :-)
    Heartfelt thanks to everybody who has been involved in giving this beautiful animal a second chance to live.

    I just don’t understand. Instead of fighting and destroying their own beautiful country. They should protect the beauty they have that no other has. Protect the Gorillas use them to make a better life for themselves. I just don’t get it. This just causes people to be affraid to go and spend money that will help them have a better life.I pray no animals get harmed in all this senseless destruction. I think about how fearful those sweet gorillas must feel, I see those big brown eyes and I cry.STOP PLEASE, STOP FIGHTING …………
