BERINGEI
Gorillas of the rift
A large and deep fracture is tearing East Africa apart. A terrestrial divorce between two tectonic plates that never ceases to shape the landscape and the life in this part of the world. Lakes and volcanoes were born from this split, thus contributing to slow but inexorable changes in ecosystems.
Coinciding with this geological phenomenon, evolution gave birth to eastern gorillas, rejecting each of the two subspecies on both sides of the rift.
Mountain and Grauer gorillas are all threatened with extinction, and each moment shared with these gentle giants is such a singular and precious experience.
From Rwanda to DR Congo, from Kahuzi-Biega National Park to the slopes of the Virunga, discover strong individualities, remarkable stories as well as the “enfant terrible” of the region, the Nyiragongo volcano, symbol of a tormented geological past which brings together the two sides of the Albertine Rift.
