Africa's Grauer gorillas are critically endangered but Dian Fossey's @SavingGorillas is working with locals to protect them. Filmmaker @thomasnybo has been documenting progress - "When you're ten yards away from a 200kg gorilla...it's one of the great experiences of my life."

Tonight @andersoncooper said goodbye to our friend and long-time writer, Faith Kleppinger, who lost her battle to cancer this morning. "She had a magic about her with words and humor," said Anderson. "Faith…thank you for all the life and the laughs and the love that you shared"

Today I convened a meeting of the Emergency Committee on #Ebola in #DRC. After 52 days without a case, surveillance & response teams on the ground have confirmed a new case. We have been preparing for and expecting more cases.

So proud of fellow former #CNN videojournalist @thomasnybo, who brings a media spotlight to the world’s most vulnerable for @UNICEF. He’s telling @RobynCurnowCNN and @cnni viewers about how #COVID19 #SocialDistancing is an aspirational luxury in many areas of #DRC. #Africa #Goma – at Ivory Coast

Beautiful moment of my day in DR Congo: hearing entire staff of Ebola treatment center cheer when 3 young women cross the orange fence line, heading to the front gate. On one side of the fence, the women were Ebola patients. On the other, they are Ebola survivors. #unicef #ebola
