A ray of hope

This handsome boy was born 9 months ago in the breeding group of the Madrid Zoo, which is part of the European Endangered Species Program. These western gorillas are in serious danger of extinction and each birth is a ray of hope for the survival of the species. Conservation programs are needed today more than ever.
