Rangers on gorilla patrol last week discovered that female mountain gorilla Kagofero had recently given birth. This is Virunga’s first known mountain gorilla birth this year and we couldn’t be more thrilled to see the population of these magnificent creatures continuing to grow

We produced the documentary, @virungamovie, a few years ago to raise awareness about the need to protect the last mountain gorillas. Recent news on oil threats remind us of the need to remain vigilant in protecting Virunga. Learn more: Virunga.org/donate. @gorillacd

The staff and the gorilla orphans at #Virunga’s Senkwekwe Centre share a unique bond. Andre Bauma describes himself as both a mother and a father to the mountain gorillas he cares for on a daily basis. ❤️

It is with a heavy heart that, despite determined attempts by rangers and @GorillaDoctors, Virunga National Park has lost one of it's beautiful silverbacks, Noël. Noël's sweet temperament will be greatly missed: virunga.org/news/valiant-eff…
