Gazing Gorilla Baby

A juvenile mountain gorilla sits in the trees gazing into the distance. Mountain gorillas are critically endangered animals. With only 1080 remaining in the wild, conservation efforts by locals include habitat protection, human/wildlife conflict protection and around the clock monitoring. 

By trekking through the jungles of Uganda to spot these animals in their natural habitat, the funds go directly to these conservation efforts.
