Militia kidnaps 18 gorilla sanctuary workers

摘要

An armed group kidnapped 18 gorilla sanctuary employees in the Democratic Republic of Congo this week and is demanding a large ransom. The group, Mai-Mai Raia Mutomboki, took the workers from Kahuzi-Biega National Park, an enormous mountain sanctuary, where the endangered eastern lowlands gorilla and other endangered species live. About 250 eastern lowland gorillas are left in the wild.
