EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, a mountain gorilla and its young companion engage in a playful moment amidst the lush clearing of Virunga national park. The Democratic Republic of Congo's natural beauty is on full display as these majestic creatures showcase their unity and instinctual bond. With an elevated view capturing every detail, the image highlights the striking contrast between the gorillas' black fur and the vibrant greenery surrounding them. The opening of Virunga national park to tourists by the M23 Movement allows for rare opportunities like tracking mountain gorillas up close. This initiative not only promotes conservation but also offers a glimpse into the picturesque world these animals inhabit. Against a backdrop of breathtaking natural phenomena, including towering mountains and expansive skies, this heartwarming scene reminds us of nature's inherent beauty and our responsibility to protect it. The innocence and curiosity displayed by both adult and baby gorilla serve as a reminder that wildlife deserves our utmost care and preservation efforts. James Akena's creative use of composition captures not just an animal encounter but also evokes emotions through his atmospheric depiction. As we admire this intimate side view, we are reminded of how fortunate we are to witness such extraordinary moments in nature – moments that inspire awe, wonder, and appreciation for all living beings sharing our planet.
