Babies Isangi and Baraka have completed their three months in quarantine at the Senkwekwe Center in Rumangabo, DRC and their final exams confirm that both are in good health and are developing normally. Genetic testing is being completed to determine that the infants are in fact Grauer's gorillas. Once this is complete, plans will be made to move the infants to the GRACE center, a unique facility in DRC that cares for Grauer's gorillas orphaned by poachers.
