Rwanda Celebrates 21st Kwita Izina, Naming 22 Baby Mountain Gorillas
Rwanda held the 21st edition of Kwita Izina, its annual ceremony of naming newborn mountain gorillas, honoring 22 babies. The tradition draws on the Virunga Massif, where the population has rebounded from about 250 individuals in the early 1980s to more than 600 today, part of a global total now above 1,000. Conservationists credit decades of anti-poaching patrols, veterinary care and community programs for the turnaround.
