Photo Gallery: Virunga Gorillas

PREVIOUS10 of 10


Much of the work at the Karisoke Research Centre in Rwanda is focused on monitoring gorillas in the Virunga mountains and educating local communities about the species. Most of what is known about mountain gorillas, such as this young ape in Rwanda, has come from research at the center. Renowned gorilla researcher Dian Fossey established it in 1967.
