[PHOTOS & VIDEO] Kwita Izina: Rwanda's conservation story in the eyes of foreign activist

Yesterday’s gorilla naming ceremony was the 12th since the inaugural event in 2005. The annual tourism flagship event is best known as Kwita Izina, Kinyarwanda for ‘naming’, and is borrowed from centuries-long tradition of naming a newborn in Rwandan society.
