BBC ALBA - Soillse, Series 6, Bama agus na Goiriolaidhean/Bama and the Lost Gorillas

The quest to find the last remaining wild Cross River Gorillas.

Documentary focusing on the discovery of the Cross River Gorilla, a subspecies that until recently, was believed to be extinct.

Tha ceangal sònraichte aig Alfred Bana, neach-glèidhidh bheathaichean à Cameroon, le goiriolaidhean. O chionn ghoirid, fhuair e rud iongantach a-mach - gur e Goiriola Abhainn Chrois a th' ann an "Nyango", fear dhe na goiriolaidhean a th' aige fo a chùram.

Tha sin a' ciallachadh gur e an t-aon fhear dhen gnèth seo a tha ann am braighdeanas. Bha dùil aca, gu o chionn bliadhna no dhà, gun robh am fo-ghnè seo air a dhol à bith. A-nise, tha Bama a' tòiseachadh air an dùbhlan as motha na a bheatha - gus teaghlach Nyango a lorg agus an dìon mus bi e ro anmoch an sàbhaladh.

Alfred Bama, an animal keeper from Cameroon, has an extraordinary connection with gorillas. Recently, he made a remarkable discovery: Nyango, one of the gorillas he looks after, is a Cross River Gorilla, and thus the world's only captive exemplar of this endangered species.

Until just a few years ago, this subspecies was thought to be extinct. Now, Bama embarks on the greatest challenge of his life: to locate Nyango's family in the wild and to protect them before it's too late.
