Big 5s
Kirsten Gilardi
Executive Director & Chief Veterinary Officer
“Not surprisingly, I could gaze 24/7 at photographs of mountain gorillas, especially when they are looking straight into the camera.
Such photographs are truly like looking in the mirror and seeing a version of yourself that meets some kind of personal ideal; to be that magnificent and extraordinary a beast, yet loving and tender towards family, and vegetarian. Earth would be a better place if we could all be more like mountain gorillas.
So I most appreciate seeing photographs of mountain gorillas because they remind me to emulate them, and to keep working to ensure the species lives forever.”
