As Rwanda welcomes conservationists from around the world to celebrate 10 years of Kwita Izina on July 1 in Kinigi, in the Northern Province district of Musanze, the country will also be celebrating its status as the biggest beneficiary of mountain gorilla trekking in the Virunga mountains.
Kwita Izina is an annual naming ceremony for baby gorillas.
