Eye to Eye

Virunga Mountains, Democratic Republic of Congo

On a visit to Virunga National Park in 2011, my girlfriend and i were privileged enough to visit with the Rugendo family of mountain gorillas. This is the same family profiled in the tragic 2008 National Geographic article "Who Murdered the Virunga Gorillas?"
