Agents of Grace and Mercy
Limited Edition — Tchimpounga, Democratic Republic of Congo. From the project ‘Salvation’.
In July 2024, a critically endangered infant gorilla was rescued from the illegal wildlife trade in Mozambique and relocated to the Jane Goodall Institute's (JGI) Tchimpounga Sanctuary in the Republic of the Congo. Named "Mozambique" (nicknamed "ZZ"), she is currently thriving under expert, 24-hour surrogate care.
The rescue was a massive coordinated effort involving the Mozambique Wildlife Alliance, the Mozambique government, and JGI partners. Transporting ZZ required complex permits, border clearances, and specialized logistics before she arrived safely in the Congo.
Infant gorillas require intensive, sensitive care. ZZ receives around-the-clock attention from trained JGI caregivers and has been introduced to similarly aged, rescued peers, including young chimpanzees at the sanctuary, to aid in her behavioral development.
Here she is on one of her daily morning walks with her surrogate mother and carer. Foraging for food and playing in her healing grounds she is slowly moving towards a life of freedom and security in a vast forest sanctuary beyond the reach of poachers and traffickers.
