April 8, 2022, Przemysl, Poland: A terrified cat in a pink carrier with cartoon girls on it is held by Ukrainian refugee girl and boy, as they wait in front of the long line where their mother is trying to get train tickets at Przemysl main station, in order to travel to a new home in another Polish city where they will stay until Putin’s reign of terror ends and they can return home. This is one of the lucky pets: many animals are turned away at the border, and there is no where to shelter them; hundreds of thousands of people are being forced to abandon their pets or stay and face death. The war is causing a crisis of unimaginable magnitude for pets and domestic animals, along with the families who love them. (Credit Image: © Amy Katz/ZUMA Press Wire)

Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda is home to the world’s largest population of Mountain gorillas in the wild. The Silver backs were made famous by the movie ‘Gorillas in the Mist’ the true story of anthropologist Dian Fossey who dedicated her life to saving the primates. The animal has come a long way since the 1980s when decades of poaching caused its population to plunge to just 250. In the 2010 census the gorillas numbered 880, in 2015 the count was up to 1,063. Thanks to this revival, the mountain gorilla is now listed as ‘endangered,’ while other great apes remain ‘critically endangered’. With hundreds of mountain gorillas now in residence, the Park is a conservation triumph. But this resurgence is not without consequences, as the majestic creatures now struggle for space to grow and thrive. Recent effects of climate change are worrying conservationists, such as mudslides which affected one of the six natural habitats of the Silver Backs. Humans have moved into areas near mountain gorillas, they have cleared land for agriculture and livestock. The challenge has inspired local people to to devote their lives to protecting the gorillas and since 1996 over 140 rangers have lost their lives in the line of duty helping to save an irreplaceable natural treasure. Welcome to ‘The Last GORILLAS In The MIST’
