We are happy to announce the birth of a new baby for the Humba gorilla family, born on the 7th of August. This is the first baby for 9 year-old mother Kanyalire, a female who migrated from the Kabirizi family to Humba family about one year ago.

Kanyalire’s history includes the death of her mother, Macibiri, murdered in the July 2007 massacre that tragically took the lives of seven critically endangered mountain gorillas, including silverback Senkwekwe of the Rugendo family.

With this new birth, the Humba family now has 16 members.
