A Mountain Gorilla Sanctuary, The Senkwekwe Centre (Video)

Gorillas are animals that present personalities almost similar to humans! Did you know we share more than 90% of our DNA with our furry cousins, the gorillas? At Rumangabo, military base of the military of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, you'll find the world's only sanctuary for orphaned mountain gorillas. Yes, that's right, ONLY. They do amazing work and we figured we've got to hype them up the best way we know how- by posting their content and raising awareness! Enjoy! 

"In early 2009, Park Rangers regained control of Virunga after a period of armed conflict. Shortly after, Park staff began raising awareness of two young orphan mountain gorillas who were in their care. Virunga National Park's headquarters at Rumangabo is home to the Senkwekwe Centre, the world's only facility for orphaned mountain gorillas. With expert staff who provide daily care for the orphans, who were each separated from their family due to the impact of poaching, the Senkwekwe Centre is a unique sanctuary offering the gorillas the chance to lead happy and secure lives in their forested enclosure."  Via Virunga.
