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.

There’s not one, not two, but… five (!!!) silverbacks!
The drama: if you think five male gorillas sounds like a lot, you’d be correct. In this rare occurrence, while the dominant silverback has claimed his spot, the others are still vying for positions in the hierarchy of Kiwtonda group.

It’s not an easy task to safeguard gorillas in the DRC.
The Fossey Fund has been protecting mountain gorillas for more than half a century. And for the past 24 years, our scope has extended to Grauer’s gorillas in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). This work is extremely difficult, as our trackers spend weeks at a time deep in the forest monitoring these elusive animals. But the great news is that our efforts are paying off – data show that gorillas are returning to sections of the forest that they had previously avoided, indicating that our direct protection and partnerships with the surrounding communities have minimized the threats in the area.

It's a heartwarming story of resilience: two orphaned gorillas have been adopted by members of their group.
In a remarkable and special turn of events, two young gorilla orphans are thriving: Imbaduko and her best friend Mubyeyi are being supported and cared for by other members of their group. Through this tough time, the members of Kureba’s group – led by silverback Ishavu – are banding together and providing lots of help and comfort to one another.

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. 💚
