Kindi's Journey Kindi's Journey: Week 28 | Page 10

CONSERVATION Meet Emma Emma is one of the countless orphans from Africa’s burgeoning bushmeat trade — the illegal hunting of wild animals and the sale of their meat. When a hunter killed her family, he brought her to a logging camp where she was rescued and flown to Limbe Wildlife Centre, a PASA member organization. Emma weighed six pounds and refused to eat or drink. She needed immediate medical treatment and around-the-clock care from Limbe’s dedicated staff. Since gorillas typically stay with their mothers for five to six years in the wild, Emma received care from a human caregiver. Now 20, Emma has grown up to be a sweet, quiet and curious gorilla but lacks survival skills and will probably need to spend her entire life at the wildlife center.
