520 1 $a"Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is home to nearly half of the world's population of mountain gorillas, one of the most endangered species on earth. Thor Hanson was sent to this remote patch of jungle to habituate the great apes to the presence of humans. In an early test case of modern conservation. Hanson worked to make ecotourism an economic incentive to save the gorillas and their rain forest home." "Thor brings us face-to-face with the mountain gorillas of Africa...haughty, belligerent Makale, who frequently charged his observers...the young mother Mamkawere...Ruhondeeza, her silverback mate...and a gorilla who would one day earn the name friend." "The people of Uganda play a vital role in Thor's story. In spite of a history of hardships, from brutal dictators to AIDS, they warmly welcome this young American into their hearts and show him a way of life so very different from our own."--BOOK JACKET.
