    Blackback Umuganda and adult female Urahirwa grew up together in Ntambara's group. They formed a strong bond from an early age as they were born just few months apart. Even though they've grown up, they still engage in long and rough playing. (Video by Cedric Ujeneza)

    Itโ€™s #WorldGorillaDay! Dian Fossey started her pioneering work 51 years ago today when it was thought mountain gorillas would go extinct by the year 2000. Instead, their numbers are increasing. Learn about our work and how YOU can help: gorillafund.org.
