Will Young: Saving Gorillas

As part of the BBC’s saving Planet Earth series this June, Will Young makes an emotional journey into the heart of Africa where he sees two very different sides of gorilla conservation.

Logging and bush meat poachers are taking their toll on the elusive lowland gorillas of West Africa. The two go hand-in-hand. As loggers raze the once impenetrable jungles, poachers follow in their wake.

In Cameroon,Will visits a refuge caring for the often traumatised orphaned gorilla victims of the bush meat trade, while in Gabon, he sees for himself the success of preserving the gorillas’ jungle habitat.
