Buy the BookMy Name Is Neru and This Is My Forest is a children's conservation story designed to introduce young readers to the natural world through the eyes of a young mountain gorilla growing up in the rainforests of Uganda. Written for early learners and primary classrooms, the story gently explores themes of family, habitat, and the importance of protecting the natural environments we all share.
Uganda is home to nearly half of the world's remaining mountain gorillas, most living in the dense rainforests of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park. Once on the brink of extinction, their population has grown to just over one thousand individuals worldwide — thanks to sustained conservation efforts led by the Uganda Wildlife Authority, in partnership with international conservation organizations, veterinary teams, researchers, and local communities.
