Congo fighting endangers mountain gorillas

Really sad to read how the fighting in the Congo is impacting the mountain gorillas that Ric and I visited last March. We were in Virunga National Park and can attest to its beauty. Now, all the rangers who lived there to protect the gorillas are being driven out by the militias and fighting happening on the border.

From The New York Times:
