DRC gorillas and park staff safe thus far
 

Good news. Thanks for posting, PB.

A thread of hope. Thank you.

Thanks, PB. A tiny bit of sun in an otherwise grim and gray situation.

Update: a deal has been negotiated and the Nkunda has agreed to let the Rangers back in to monitor the gorillas.

Something to be thankful for.

Thanks for update PB. Watching as I type a documentary on the History Channel called Shadow Force- Black Gold that describes the efforts of Virunga park rangers to stop the charcoal manufacturing in the park by rebels. Grim, but facinating documentary on the challenges facing these rangers to save the park.

"Miraculously, the population is believed to have grown during the war years in eastern Congo."

The population referred to is the gorillas.

That quote was taken from this NPR article, linked below.
