Brent Stirton

Virunga National Park, Democratic Republic of the Congo

Ndakasi the mountain gorilla lays in the arms of ranger Andre Bauma, her caregiver of 13 years, before dying on Sept. 26 after a long illness.

Mr. Stirton had photographed Ndakasi in 2007 when, at two months old, she survived the slaughter of her troop by a syndicate involved in the illegal charcoal trade. She has appeared in a documentary and had a moment of viral internet fame in 2019 when she photo-bombed the selfie of another park ranger.

Being informed about climate change and its very real consequences is crucial for all human beings. The truth is no easy pill to swallow, and anxiety about climate change is real, but our lives and the continued existence of our planet depends on people knowing what’s up.
