Last of the Mountain Gorillas, by Dimitrios Zavos

While hiking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda last summer, I was fortunate enough to cross paths with a group of Mountain Gorillas. This primeval forest is the last refuge of the critically endangered species with their total number estimated at under 1000 individuals. The melancholy in the eyes of this female seems rather appropriate. There are no Mountain Gorillas in captivity.

    What a beautiful photograph. I feel so sad for the Gorillas. It’s on my bucket list to visit these amazing creatures. Good luck with your photograph.

      Thank you very much Tania. The species might be critically endangered at the moment, but experts report that their numbers have risen over the last few years, mostly because of the conservation efforts of Uganda’s, Rwanda’s and Congo’s authorities, which is very encouraging. Lets hope that the trend will continue.
