DRCongo wildlife authorities have rescued two baby gorillas from traffickers.
The rescued gorillas are being protected by the Dian Fossey Fund awaiting transfer to the Gorilla Rehabilitation and Conservation Education (GRACE) centre in the DRC’s North Kivu.
Clare Richardson president and CEO of Fossey Fund noted, “We are committed to saving gorillas in Congo in every way, primarily by supporting law enforcement in combating poaching and monitoring of gorillas the way we have done for 45 years with mountain gorillas in Rwanda.”
“We have been caring for confiscated gorillas in temporary facilities since 2003, and the continuing problem of gorilla trafficking in this region requires us to focus both on prevention and on making plans for their future,” Richardson added.
