加蓬大猩猩孤儿院的一只低地大猩猩幼崽。非洲中部的大猩猩正因为栖息地被破坏。以及人为捕杀，加上该地区不断的战争交火而面临灭绝的危险。动物保护者为了使这一物种得以存续，四处搜集大猩猩孤儿进行人工抚养，之后再放回大自然。

Lekedi, a baby western lowland gorilla, sits for a close-up at a gorilla orphanage in Gabon. Central Africa's lowland gorilla populations suffer from steady habitat loss, capture and killing by poachers, and the cross fire of civil wars within their range. Conservationists are working to avert the species' extinction by collecting gorilla orphans, nurturing and socializing them, and ultimately releasing them back into the wild.
