Biodiversity matters!
#Mountaingorillas don’t live alone. Their forest shelters bird species, beautiful plants, elephants, duikers, bushbucks, golden cats, servals, jackals & more!
By protecting biodiversity, we protect gorillas & their habitat!
Happy #BiodiversityDay
Together we can protect our closest wild relatives against #Ebola
Shy? Playful? Protective?
Gorillas have personalities too!
Every gorilla is someone!
Visit with Love. Visit by the rules!
Responsible tourism starts with you!

The #mountaingorilla population is low unlike other species, gorillas have not reached their carrying capacity, every individual life is important for the welfare & sustainability of the population : Gorilla Doctor, Bernard Ssebidde.
Protect one gorilla, protect every gorilla!

One hour with #mountaingorillas if well utilized can be life changing
Long enough to change your heart. Short enough to protect their peace and save them/you from any possible disease transmission!

Tiny hands, big joy in Virunga 🦍💚
Congrats Katuku & Bageni family!
Le Parc National des Virunga est heureux d’annoncer que, vendredi dernier, lors d’un suivi de routine, les pisteurs communautaires ont observé un nouveau-né au sein de la famille Bageni.
Âgée de 9 ans, la femelle subadulte Katuku a donné naissance à son premier petit, un mâle. Cette naissance est la deuxième enregistrée au sein de cette famille cette année, après celle de jumeaux en janvier. Elle porte ainsi le groupe à 60 individus, la famille Bageni restant la plus grande du Parc.
Il s’agit de la neuvième naissance enregistrée dans le Parc National des Virunga en 2026, l’ensemble des naissances étant réparties au sein de sept familles différentes.
Nous sommes profondément reconnaissants envers l’Union européenne, l’UNESCO et les donateurs de notre programme d’adoption de gorilles pour leur soutien continu en faveur de la préservation des gorilles de montagne dans le Parc.

They share 98% of our DNA. They mourn, They laugh, They fiercely shield their babies.
There are just about 1063 #mountaingorillas left on Earth. Every single one counts.

🦍One of Sir David Attenborough's most memorable moments? This encounter with a group of playful mountain gorillas in Rwanda in 1979.
Happy 100th birthday Sir David! 🎉

Happy 100th Birthday, Sir David Attenborough.
When you sat with mountain gorillas in 1979, you gave the world a reason to care. We applaud your lifelong commitment to telling their story — a commitment that helped spark decades of conservation.
The gorillas — thank you. 🦍💚
Weekend goals : Hang loose like a baby gorilla!
Hope you have a weekend full of play, peace and gorilla-sized joy.
