This group of Bwindi gorillas led by their silverback came to visit the ecotourists one morning in December:
Kudos to John who behaved appropriately and kept his cool in the presence of a much stronger and dominant primate. Tourism plays a large role in the preservations of wild mountain gorillas. Tourists bring money into the impoverished local economy which provides an incentive for local people to protect the wildlife from destruction. You can help by paying a visit just like the gorillas occasionally do.
