Gorillas
Seit ich 1988 "Gorillas im Nebel" im Kino sah, gehört meine ganze Liebe dem Schutz und der Erforschung der Berggorillas.
Dafür unterstütze ich Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund so gut ich kann!
Diese Besonderen Tiere dürfen nicht aussterben! Und dazu gehört auch die Hilfe für die Menschen, die in diesen Gegenden Leben. Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund hilft auch da. Und deshalb ist es für mich die Institution, denen ich helfen möchte.

Gorillas are well-known for their complex social dynamics, which can be seen in the enduring relationships that often form between males and females!
Since Valentine’s Day was only last week, we have been thinking a lot about relationships…GORILLA relationships! During our decades of observations, we’ve observed remarkable bonds between males and females. And yep: they are even sweeter than you probably imagined. 💚

It’s been a year of the highest highs and the lowest lows.
What a year. For the Fossey Fund, 2023 has brought some of the greatest growth we’ve seen to date. Whether it was for our staff, gorilla and biodiversity protection, community initiatives, scientific research and student programs, we are so grateful for how much progress and hope we’ve experienced this year. Yet, through all of our positives, it’s also been a very challenging year to keep gorillas safe.

Human families often have their neighbors over to socialize, but do gorilla groups similarly visit with each other?
Our observations offer an emphatic “yes!” Group exchanges can sometimes be tense, but that’s not the case with the Titus and Segasira families. Past family relationships and familiarity among the members help these groups (and others) to have peaceful interactions and a little bit of fun too.

Why World Gorilla Day is extra special this year:
World Gorilla Day, on Sept. 24, is one of our very favorite days! This year, we have SO MUCH to celebrate: the 40th anniversary of Dian Fossey’s book Gorillas in the Mist, the 35th anniversary of the feature film based on the book starring Sigourney Weaver as Dian and the premiere of an exclusive Discovery Channel special on the building of our new Ellen DeGeneres Campus in Rwanda. Not to mention, World Gorilla Day commemorates the founding of Dian Fossey’s groundbreaking study of the mountain gorillas in 1967.
