We are in the field every day protecting and studying gorillas. With nearly 50 years of experience, we know what it takes to save a species.
A healthy ecosystem benefits everyone. Our health, education and economic programs improve the chances of gorillas surviving.
We work to protect critical forest habitats in Africa, which are home to gorillas and many other endangered species.
Fewer than 900 mountain gorillas remain. Their habitats are severely threatened. We are on the ground every day protecting them.
