Ndakasi the mountain gorilla became known the world over for her adorable selfie with a park ranger in Congo.

Sadly, the beloved gorilla passed away aged 14 last week, dying in Andre’s arms after a prolonged illness which rapidly deteriorated.

Gorillas are our family!

There are just 1069 mountain gorillas left in the wild. Adopt a gorilla today and help us protect them.

Hang in there 1 more day!

Tomorrow an amazing 24 (24!!) baby #gorillas will be officially named at #KwitaIzina 2021.

We've had the honor of choosing names in past years. And we're super excited to see what names will be given to the babies born over the past 12 months.

@dialectwriters @LitWorks I adored the previous swimming workshop I did with Dialect Writers, and wrote a quirky poem that I would never otherwise have written.
