Mugaruka and Chimanuka the silverback gorillas

(c) C Schuler

Magnificent Mugaruka and Chimanuka are extremely rare Eastern Lowland gorillas in DR Congo. Gorillas may be powerful, but they are peaceful vegetarians who live in close-knit groups. Both our males are massive ‘silverbacks’ in charge of families, but poor Mugaruka has a major disability, he lost a hand in a poacher’s snare.

Adopt our gorillas for £30 a year and help protect them from deadly ‘bushmeat’ poachers AND protect great apes globally.
