There’s an entire ceremony dedicated to naming gorilla infants! 🦍 Every year in Rwanda, ‘Kwita Izina’ (the naming ceremony) brings people together to celebrate conservation success and the teamwork helping mountain gorillas recover. This year’s names include Mucyo, Inkera, Nkwakuzi, and Mpinga.

Penguins, seabirds, seals and whales all depend on one tiny creature: krill. And they're having to compete with commercial fishing fleets for it. That's why WWF is calling for a moratorium on krill fishing around the Antarctic Peninsula, and Marine Protected Areas to safeguard the Southern Ocean.

Collaring and tracking elephants helps us understand their movements, health and behaviour, and learn how we can best protect them. It also means someone has to give them names. And someone decided that these two should be called 'Kevin' and 'Edwin'. 🥺
