Protecting Mountain Gorillas

http://features.csmonitor.com/environment/2009/05/12/standing-up-for-congo’s-rare-mountain-gorillas/

This was an interesting and touching article about Innocent Mburanumwe, the ranger in charge of gorilla monitoring for the Congolese Wildlife Authority. Not only does he deal with the risks of rebels attacking him, his family or his home but poachers have also led attacks. Innocents passion to conserve nature and gorillas keeps him going. There is also a bit at the end on what not to do if you run into a mountain gorilla in the forest.
