On January 15, humans dressed in gorilla costumes performed a dance on ice at the Natural History Museum of London. This was part of the UNEP launch of the Year of the Gorilla.
This year will be marked by a number of initiatives to educate and raise awareness on the plight of one of our closest relatives. More research will also be done in Cameroon and Nigeria to improve community-based conservation efforts aimed at protecting the Cross River Gorilla.

Although I am a big fan of humorous commentary, there is nothing funny about the plight of our gorilla relatives.
