Six orphaned gorillas are new residents on an isolated island near Gabon’s Loango National Park. Each of the six gorillas has been rescued from illegal trade. They are ages two to seven.
The plan is to move the six gorillas to a wider wilderness area within three years. Western lowland gorillas are critically endangered, and this project is to help increase their numbers. Experts will monitor the gorillas’ progress from a base camp on the island.
