Photo by @michaelnicknichols. Mirithi, silverback mountain gorilla, Virunga Mountains, Rwanda, 1981

This image taught me that I could be a powerful voice for those that cannot speak. Mirithi was very young and one of the first gorillas to be habituated for tourism. Revenue from tourism is ultimately what saved the mountain gorilla and the fabulous land they inhabit. His father was shot and he had to takeover is family which was led by his mother while he gained confidence. He was famous for sideways bluff charges though he never hurt or even touched a tourist.
Sadly he was shot in his prime by frightened soldiers that were patroling the park for rebels in the years before the Rwanda genocide.
