24 newborn gorillas identified as Rwandan.

There were twenty-four newborn gorillas born in Rwanda from several moms and groups. On January 16, 2015, Bukima female gorilla birthed a female gorilla baby belonging to the Isabukuru gorilla family. This indicates that thanks to good protection, mountain gorilla numbers are rising.

Among numerous partners like Rwanda Air, Bank of Kigali, Eco Bank, Akagera Aviation, Equity Bank, Kenya Airways, SN Brussels, Akagera National Park, Nyungwe Top View Hotel, Park View Courts, this gorilla naming ceremony was expected.

For millennia, Rwandan society and customs have revolved around naming a freshly born child. The old naming century’s legacy was modeled on these species to get the national brand known as “Kwita Izina,” in line with the amazing efforts by the Government of Rwanda, through the Rwanda Development Board, and in cooperation with different conservation partners and local communities to actively protect the Mountain Gorillas and their habitat. We would wish to congratulate Rwanda’s government for always leading the front in efforts at mountain gorilla protection.
