Details

Scientists of the Mountain Gorilla Veterinary Project have spent decades in Rwanda and Uganda, working to prevent the extinction of mountain gorillas. By tending to injured animals and raising money and awareness through "gorilla tourism," they have helped protect the endangered species from poachers. Yet their very efforts have brought about a new threat: exposure to human disease. Full-color photographs.
