Our Collaborators
Around the world, these are the people who help us tell authentic stories and create meaningful connections.
Field Collaborator, UWA Ranger, Conservationist
Nicholas Mubangizi is a Uganda Wildlife Authority ranger based at Bwindi Impenetrable National Park — one of the last sanctuaries of the mountain gorilla. With eight years of service and five years dedicated to gorilla habituation and monitoring, he has spent his career on the frontlines of one of the world’s most important conservation stories.
Nicholas is a Mi Bella Mondo collaborator, giving us rare and honest insight into life inside the forest — the gorilla families he has come to know, the challenges rangers face that rarely make the headlines, and the quiet progress being made to protect a species that nearly disappeared. His knowledge, his photographs, and his stories are an invaluable part of what we do here.
We are honoured to have him as part of the MBM family.
