This baby mountain gorilla was photographed in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in southern Uganda. Mountain gorillas are a critically endangered species and are barely hanging on in the wild. At the time of my visit in 2009, there were only an estimated 700 left throughout their range in Uganda, the Congo and Rwanda, but the most recent data from 2012 shows a slightly more optimistic figure of 950. Perhaps conservation efforts are starting to pay off and the numbers are on the rise. I certainly hope so as I would love to go back to this place some day.
