Happy #WildlifeWednesday shout out from our friends at Senkwekwe Centre for orphaned gorillas in the @virunganationalpark In the 1980s, poaching led the world’s only population of mountain gorillas to drop to a shockingly low 256. With help from a dedicated team of rangers, conservationists, and your continued support, the population is now standing at more than 1000 individuals.⠀ ⠀ Virunga National Park is home to 1/3rd of the population of the world's mountain gorillas (1/3rd Rwanda, just over half 1/5 in Uganda)and the world's only mountain gorilla orphan centre. Find out how you can support this magnificent great ape with @global_wildlife_conservation new #AdoptAGorilla program.⠀ virunga.org/support-us/adopt-a-gorilla #Wildography #wildlifephotography #conservation #conservationphotography #endangeredspecies #mountaingorilla #senkwekwecenter #babyanimals #greatapes https://www.instagram.com/p/CJbA61iA1TY/?igshid=2pkrmtt5p5y6
