Nona's story

Nona's mother was killed for meat. Nona was clinging to her mother and was shot through her hand...she was left for dead by the hunters, too little meat on her tiny body for them to be interested. Ape Action Africa was called to help her and our manager, Rachel Hogan, went to the logging camp to rescue her. Rachel thought she was dead until she screamed. After many months of 24/7 care, Nona has fully recovered from her injuries and her traumatic start in life. She now enjoys her days with 10 other gorillas in Mefou National Park in Cameroon, in the care of Ape Action Africa.
