Mountain gorillas are thriving in Uganda鈥檚 Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. The formerly 鈥榗ritically endangered鈥 population has blossomed, hailed around the world as a conservation success story. But to save the gorillas, humans were shut out of the forest. An indigenous community who for centuries called this area their ancestral homeland was evicted - they say, illegally. And now they are fighting to go back. 鈥奣his struggle over land, resources, and who has a voice in conservation will go all the way to Uganda's highest court.
