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.

A gorilla is strongest when they are with their family.  They take care of each other just like us — protecting each other, playing together, even babysitting each others’ young to let their friends get some rest.  Join us on September 24 and help save a species! Because like gorillas, we’re stronger when we work together.
