Description
A Western Lowland Gorilla; Gorillas are one of the most endangered species in Africa. For some subspecies, there are less than 800 individuals remaining in the wild. Threats to gorilla survival include habitat destruction and poaching for the bushmeat trade.
Due to this gorilla's location within its habitat, I couldn't get a clear, open image, but after catching a glimpse of this view, I felt that it was much more powerful and moving. I also chose to present it in black and white to better express the emotion. I hope it speaks to you as well.
