That love stuff always gives me a lump in my throat.
The baby looked like he/she happily recognized the woman just as I thought here was another human (the pilot) who would hand him off to a stranger. Joy!

Loved how the baby so trusted the pilot and then jumped into the woman's arms. Almost as if she/he knew they were being saved.

Here's their comment on the worldwide attention given to the rescue video. That baby's name is Mussa btw
Every rescue is an effort from a lot of people from different organisations who work together to save lives.
It is a beautiful moment to see the result of everybody's implication, in this case we save the life of Mussa.
You can also be part of this team effort! You can contribute to Mussa's rehabilitation by donating in our website: www.lwiroprimates.org or directly in the "donate" button on Facebook.
