Wild Mother Gorilla
This 30-year-old gorilla has had many children in her time. Living in the forests of DRC, where civil war was all around her she knew that the world needed love and protection, especially her babies. But she didn’t want to protect only her own, she wanted to protect every baby all over the world. But there was no way she could do this alone. She looked to her closest relatives, the ones who had caused so much destruction in her home but also the ones she had witnessed having an endless capacity for love, humans. She looks to them to become protectors alongside her and guardians of all wildlife.
