Rwanda’s commitment to the conservation of mountain gorillas has been a significant success story in wildlife protection over the last two decades. A major cornerstone of this conservation effort is Kwita Izina, a celebrated baby gorilla naming ceremony that has been held annually since 2005. This ceremony, organized by the Rwanda Development Board (RDB), has become both a symbol of the country’s efforts in preserving these critically endangered species and an international platform for raising awareness about the importance of wildlife conservation.
