  • In a well-planned undercover operation, a team of Virunga National Park rangers in the Democratic Republic of Congo, lead by ranger Christian Shamavu, recovered a poached baby Grauer's gorilla by posing as buyers for the infant gorilla and arresting three poachers. The small team of five rangers found the baby through a tip from a contact in the Lubero territory and the town of Kayna. It is unknown what forest the gorilla came from.

    The genuine love these people show for these gorilla babies is touching. What do we need on this earth? - Much more of whatever THESE BLESSED PEOPLE have in their hearts. Greed is ultimately why there are gorillas orphans. There is no greed in gorilla society or in the persons who look after these wondrous fur people.

    Is it assumed that if the baby has been poached, the mother gorilla was killed?

    Anytime we think of animals as all the others, and ourselves as not animals I hope this video is available all around the world in every home and in school for children and too many insensitive adults to watch often. This little baby was so frightened, just like little human babies who don't want you to touch them and pull their arms to their little chests. This was a very frightened little baby, and whoever the poachers were, may they spend many decades behind bars looking out and not free, the same way the baby was. I wonder what they did to her mama

    This really makes my heart hurt. I've read that poachers will likely have to kill numerous adult gorillas from 1 family in order to steal one baby as they will all fight to the death to keep their young from being stolen. If this is true, can you imagine the horror this little guy witnessed, as he's being ripped from his dead mother's bloody arms so that these disgusting people can sell him? I will never understand why we humans feel the need to destroy everything on this beautiful planet. We're supposed to cohabitate but instead we kill, destroy & steal to the point that we are pushing so many beautiful creatures, such as this little guy, straight into extinction. Thank God for people like Mr. Shamavu. I hope he and his friends can save all of the endangered apes. Maybe someday someone can save us humans, too, from ourselves. 😢
