V srdci Demokratick\u00e9 republiky Kongo, usazen\u00e9 mezi impozantn\u00edmi horami Virunga, \u017eije kriticky ohro\u017een\u00fd druh: horsk\u00e1 gorila.

V r\u00e1mci ochran\u00e1\u0159sk\u00e9ho \u00fasil\u00ed jsem se vydal na nebezpe\u010dnou cestu, abych byl sv\u011bdkem t\u00ed\u017eiv\u00e9 situace t\u011bchto m\u00edrn\u00fdch obr\u016f na vlastn\u00ed o\u010di. V doprovodu zku\u0161en\u00fdch stopa\u0159\u016f a ozbrojen\u00fdch str\u00e1\u017ec\u016f jsem vystoupal na horu Mikeno, kde se potuluje st\u0159\u00edbroh\u0159bet\u00fd goril\u00ed samec Humba a jeho rodina.<\/p>\n\n
Humba, majest\u00e1tn\u00ed tvor s v\u00fdrazn\u00fdm st\u0159\u00edbrn\u00fdm sedlem na h\u0159bet\u011b, se na n\u00e1s d\u00edval s panovnickou gr\u00e1ci\u00ed. Navzdory sv\u00e9 obrovsk\u00e9 velikosti a s\u00edle projevoval p\u0159ekvapivou krotkost a dovolil n\u00e1m pozorovat intimn\u00ed interakce jeho rodiny.<\/p>\n\n

Rebelsk\u00e9 skupiny, jako Interahamwe a povstalci Mai Mai, p\u016fsob\u00ed v hor\u00e1ch Virunga a p\u0159edstavuj\u00ed neust\u00e1lou hrozbu jak pro gorily, tak pro str\u00e1\u017ece, kte\u0159\u00ed je chr\u00e1n\u00ed.<\/p>\n\n
B\u011bhem sv\u00e9 n\u00e1v\u0161t\u011bvy jsem narazil na skupinu rwandsk\u00fdch voj\u00e1k\u016f, kte\u0159\u00ed neleg\u00e1ln\u011b p\u0159ekro\u010dili hranice do kon\u017esk\u00e9ho \u00fazem\u00ed.
