“Hello, my name is Maddy and I am a wildlife photographer who spent a year in the jungle with three very special gorillas.�

These little creatures were born in Britain and were chosen by a charity called the Aspinall Foundation to learn all about how to live in the jungle.

The Aspinall Foundation created a school in the heart of a rainforest which teaches these amazing animals all the skills they need to survive!
