Well, that’s a plot twist! Here’s how the famously solitary silverback Inshuti saved the day for two gorilla youngsters.
He’s alone no more, and for a really good reason. If you have followed Inshuti’s story, rest assured that we were just as surprised as you may be. Here’s the scoop: when two orphaned gorillas became separated from their natal group just a few months back, we were concerned for their future, as they are too young to survive without being in the care of adults. Enter: Inshuti!

Honoring the heroes on the front line in the fight to save gorillas.
We cannot thank these individuals enough. World Ranger Day is July 31, and we are celebrating the Fossey Fund trackers who bravely monitor and protect gorillas every single day.
And today, we want to bring you their stories. From 30+ year careers, to unusual trajectories, to women in this traditionally male-dominated field, we invite you to learn more about these inspiring people.
