The Gorilla Organisation (UK registered charity 1117131) works internationally to save the mountain gorillas from extinction and ensure that the local people benefit from their unique natural heritage.
In the mists of the Virunga Volcanoes of central Africa the last remaining mountain gorillas face extinction.The rarest and largest of the great apes, they are among our closest relatives yet one of the most endangered mammals on earth. They are threatened by poaching, loss of habitat, disease and war. Mountain gorillas are an important resource for the people of Rwanda, Congo and Uganda across whose borders their tiny forest habitat stretches. Political instability and war have caused many set-backs, but as peace slowly returns, the economic potential of mountain gorilla conservation has also re-emerged. The Gorilla Organisation continues its efforts to protect the last remaining mountain gorillas. Help support them by adopting a gorilla today, for yourself, or as the perfect gift for a friend or loved one. |
