澳洲幸运10历史开奖结果查询 Saving
Gorillas are beautiful, resilient animals. But poaching and habitat destruction have pushed their populations to the brink of extinction in recent decades.
Our brave founder, Dian Fossey, knew that gorillas would need our help to survive. Today, the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund is dedicated to continuing and expanding Dian’s work. We protect gorillas and their forests every day, while also helping the people who live near them. Click here to give today.
As the Fossey Fund continues to implement ways to reduce our carbon footprint and ensure donations are being directed to our mission and providing the greatest impact, we have made the necessary decision to discontinue the production and distribution of the annual calendar. We hope you will continue to enjoy seeing and learning more about the gorillas and our community work via our website, or Facebook, Twitter and Instagram posts. Thank you.
Dian Fossey:
A Conservation Pioneer
Dian Fossey’s work to study and protect the lives of the wild gorillas in Rwanda touched the hearts of people around the world. Her focus, courage and passion have inspired many conservationists who have followed since. And her legacy lives on today, in the gorilla protection, science, education and people programs of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund.

Unlike the mountain gorillas we protect in Rwanda, the Grauer’s gorillas and biodiversity we study in the DRC are unhabituated.Since poaching is still a threat in the DRC, we do not want them to become too comfortable with humans. So, in order for us to study the incredible biodiversity and Grauer’s gorillas of the DRC, we use camera traps. Here are a few of our favorites we recently captured! Remember… the only good trap is a camera trap 👍
😋🌿 Although it may not look very appetizing, thistle is a major source of water and nutrition for gorillas. It’s also the cause of the stains on their teeth and tongue due to the high tannin content. And don’t you just love that crunchy sound 😄

Check out Macibiri and Nshunguye having a blast using silverback Urwibutso as their own personal jungle gym! 😂🦍💪 Let’s all take a page out of Urwibutso’s book and learn to have patience like his!

7-year-old Ishimwe is the only member from former Mafunzo’s group to join Titus group. While the others left and formed a new group with silverback Segasira last June, Ishimwe found a new family with silverback Urwibutso and Titus group. It’s rare for males to be accepted into a new group, but Ishimwe’s bond with Urwibutso is unbreakable! 💪🦍

Today's a good day 😁
Did you know that pangolins are the most trafficked animal in the world? Because of this they are critically endangered. Through our work protecting Grauer’s gorillas in the DR Congo, we are able to help protect pangolins as well. Four species of pangolin live in Africa and we have been lucky enough to catch one on a camera trap in our Nkuba Conservation Area. #worldpangolinday #conservation #nature
Congratulations to our partner @immotion_ on winning the 2023 Lumiere Award in the Best Use of VR category for its ground-breaking GORILLA TREK. The experience features our CEO Tara Stoinski guiding viewers through the social dynamics of a gorilla family in Rwanda and is a wonderful educational tool that places users right in the middle of gorilla everyday life. It is currently featured in 30 locations worldwide and soon will be available on our new Ellen Campus. Read more at the link in our bio. @immotion_ @habitatxr

Silverback Pato needs to rest too! Although it may be a bit difficult when he has infant Nshunguye playing on top of him. 😂

You don’t see this often, -2-year-old Igicumbi is getting the VIP treatment! Infants are usually carried by their moms, but today little Igicumbi got a special lift from silverback Kigoma while the Kwisanga’s group was navigating through the forest.
