The death of the Mountain Gorilla Silverback known as” Rafiki ” had a significant impact on the conservation efforts and social dynamics of the gorilla community. Rafiki’s leadership and dominant presence played a crucial role in maintaining stability and order within the group. His loss not only affected the group’s hierarchy but also posed a conservation challenge to the long-term survival and protection of mountain gorillas in the region.

Our aim is to create alternative sources of income for communities around Bwindi in order to safeguard the endangered gorillas, such as the recently killed “Rafiki”. To learn about our efforts, please visit the website provided Saving Primates
