Yesterday during the launch of the Audiobook of #WalkingWithGorillas @JulzKagwa emphasized the importance of celebrating our own people who do big things. We need to celebrate @DoctorGladys without having to wait for the world to follow suit. #ListenToWalkingWituGorillas

Dr. Gladys Kalema-Zikusoka - what an absolute powerhouse! Uganda’s first-ever wildlife veterinarian, a CNN Hero, founder of Conservation Through Public Health and a true living legend... I remain completely in awe of her. Huge congratulations to her on this latest innovation that will bring the story of Uganda's mountain gorillas to an even wider audience! The audiobook version of Walking With Gorillas is out now on major platforms including Spotify, Audible, Apple Books and Google Play. Go check it out!
A special heartfelt thank you to @JulzKagwa from @TourismBoardUg, @JanSadek from @EUinUG, plus my sisters @asiimwe4justice & @LillyAjarova for being a big part of today's launch, but also for walking this journey with me. #WalkingWithGorillas #ListenToWalkingWithGorillas

In the foreword, the late great Dr. Jane Goodall calls #WalkingWithGorillas an inspiring blueprint for anyone interested in conservation & overcoming setbacks. @DoctorGladys has compelling story of her journey to protect one of humanity's closest genetic relatives.

Click the link below to get your copy: linktr.ee/WalkingWithGorilla… The hardcopy is also available on Amazon and in major bookstores worldwide. #WalkingWithGorillas #ListenToWalkingWithGorillas – at Kampala, Uganda
Two days after the launch, I’m still reflecting on how meaningful the #WalkingWithGorillas audiobook truly is. By narrating her own story, @DoctorGladys has made Uganda’s conservation journey more accessible — not just for readers, but for listeners everywhere. This is an important step because it expands the reach of mountain gorilla conservation and the One Health approach beyond bookshelves into everyday spaces: cars, homes, and headphones around the world. Paired with the Zongo campaign at @SheratonKampala (where 60% of souvenir sales support @CTPHuganda), it shows what’s possible when storytelling, hospitality and conservation work together. This is more than an audiobook. It’s a bridge — connecting people to the forests, the communities, and the future of our mountain gorillas. #ListenToWalkingWithGorillas

With sustainable agriculture, people in Bwindi community became less dependant on forests to meet their basic needs & not to pick diseases from poaching animals/give diseases to gorillas. #WalkingWithGorillas @DoctorGladys #ListenToWalkingWithGorillas amazon.com/Walking-Gorillas-…

"One of the powerful ideas in #WalkingwithGorillas is that wellbeing of wildlife is inseparable from the wellbeing of people who live alongside it. What kind of leadership does human-wildlife coexistence require?"- @asiimwe4justice to @DoctorGladys #ListenToWalkingWithGorillas

@DoctorGladys gets motivated by people around her because she is an extrovert. She also believes that she has a calling from God-whatever she does,she prays & seeks inspiration from God and that makes a big difference. #OneHealth #WalkingWithGorillas #ListenToWalkingWithGorillas

Mountain gorillas share 98% of our DNA - reason why they become vulnerable... Tourists are advised to wear masks because gorillas can get some of the diseases we are carrying , even a flu! #WalkingWithGorillas #ListenToWalkingWithGorillas @ctph_camp @CTPHuganda @DoctorGladys

Mountain gorillas are so similar to us and yet so gentle and accomodating. They are gentle giants - we have an ethical obligation to protect them. #WalkingWithGorillas by @DoctorGladys #ListenToWalkingWithGorillas via this link ↘️ open.spotify.com/show/3p6jkL…
