Itombwe Conservation

Itombwe Conservation is dedicated to the belief that the future of wildlife is dependent upon a symbiotic relationship between it and it's co-dwelling humans.

The Bongo of Congo.

Hmmm... Let me think on it...

[Itombwe Conservation @itombwe]

Can you guess what this is?

A young Congolese Gorilla from the Congo is stripped from its mother's arms in order to profit someone a quick buck.

Golden Crested Crane: Portrait Mode.

The highly venomous Boomslang appears to be nothing more than a part of the tree to any who might walk by...

The Itombwe Mountain Monkey. Look at those wide eyes - almost as if he's shocked to see something or someone...

Quiz for you: Why is the Blue Duiker called the Blue Duiker?

[Itombwe Conservation @itombwe]

A good day to rest in the shade on a hot day.

Congo's Mountain Monkey Peeps around a bush corner, worried about his shrinking habitat...

[Itombwe Conservation @itombwe]

Congo's Golden Monkey. Curious as ever.

[Itombwe Conservation @itombwe]

Could Congo lose it's "Eco-System Engineers" in our lifetime?

This blog post goes into detail about the Eastern Lowland Gorilla (Only 5,000 left) and its close cousin the "Mountain Gorilla" (Only 1060 left), and where to find each creature should you ever venture near their habitat.

There is only 5,000 left! That's 500 poachers only killing 10 Eastern Lowland Gorillas each. More numerous than their endangered cousins - the Mountain Gorillas. Perhaps the wrong animals are being killed.

Who are we? We believe community must come together with a common goal to protect/preserve its environment. Unlike many other conservation efforts, our approach doesn't treat the needs of the people as secondary as it is the people we must count on.

This Blue Duiker is Cautiously aware...

[Itombwe Conservation @itombwe]

A brilliant flash of Royal Red and Blue. However, for the Rwenzori Toraco, it's just another landing in the forest thick.

[Itombwe Conservation @itombwe]

Although much smaller than their Savanah relatives, the African Forest Elephant is by far the more aggressive.

A mist grows thicker around this species as they are becoming harder and harder to find. Perhaps a future caption with this image will soon read, "R.I.P Eastern Lowland Gorilla".
