''Stirton shares the closing chapter of the story of a much-loved mountain gorilla. He photographed Ndakasi’s rescue as a two-month-old after her troop was killed by a charcoal mafia as a threat to park rangers. Here he memorialised her death as she lay in the arms of her rescuer and caregiver of 13 years, ranger Andre Bauma. As a result of conservation efforts, mountain gorilla numbers have quadrupled to more than 1,000 in the last 40 years. Senkwekwe Centre, Virunga national park, the Democratic Republic of the Congo''
