DR Congo: a gorilla killed in Kahuzi-Biega National Park on 10 July 2026

The alleged perpetrator has been arrested and handed over to the judicial authorities in Walikale, North Kivu, to answer for his actions in court.

We deplore this act, which seriously harms a protected species and the natural heritage of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We remind everyone that Grauer's gorillas, an emblematic and particularly endangered species, are fully protected.
