National Geographic Magazine : Gorilla Massacre.

Shocking, sad, educational and beautiful, all at once. This video "documents the significance of the recent gorilla massacres in the Democratic Republic of Congo." The killings were apparently motivated by a political battle between industrialists and conservationists.

The pictures below show park rangers and people of the area sadly and ceremoniously removing the body of a great silverback from the jungle.
