{{This year, 11 baby Mountain gorillas are scheduled to be named in the 10th Gorilla naming Ceremony that draws hundreds of visitors from allover the world and especially those in the conservation and tourism sectors and support sectors.}}
The event is scheduled for June 22, at Kinigi in Northern Province of Rwanda.
A statement from Rwanda Development Board said, the naming ceremony targets baby gorillas born recently but have not been named.
The mountain gorilla is one of the world’s most endangered species and Rwanda is one of the countries in the Great Lakes region that shares a habitat for these endangered species. The habitat stretches across Uganda, DRC and Rwanda.
With about 780 Mountain gorillas left in the World, it has enabled the Rwanda to receive over 20,000 visitors every year visiting the creatures which share more than 97% genetic material with human beings.
