  • We remember Maisha, the matriarch of Virunga's family of orphan gorillas. Though Maisha had a hard start in life, when she was taken from her family by poachers at just three years old, she found a secure and peaceful home at Virunga National Park's Senkwekwe Center.
    The Senkwekwe Center remains the only facility in the world that cares for orphaned mountain gorillas. Despite the challenges in caring for the species in captivity, the Center collaborates with key veterinary organisations from around the world to ensure the highest standards of care for the gorillas. You can support the work of the Senkwekwe Center at virunga.org/donate

    Im so sorry for your lose Andre. She was like a child to you and you gave her a wonderful life full of love above all else. All the videos of you holding her, feeding her a bottle or just caressing her when she felt insecure are precious moments we will have forever. God bless you my freind and the work you do.💖

    Very nice, gentle and friendly comments of the zookeeper. You will miss Maisha very much.
    It's so sad she died so young.
    See you again in the splendid and eternal heavens of our so loved animals...
    I believe in a heaven for all creatures with feelings as in an eternal 'coming home forever' PLACE TO BE without pain, suffer, illness, trauma, sadness, angst... or whatever bad things...

    OKAY, FIFTY KIND, CONCERNED PEOPLE ASKED HOW(WHY) SHE DIED? Not one response to our question??? What's up with the 'No Response"? That makes us suspicious......we know you all do wonderful work there and are very dedicated to these gorillas. So, what gives??? Has Ebola found it's way there?? Hard to donate to an organization that is withholding comment on a very 'loved by many'. member of the family.
