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.

‘Tis the season, bamboo season that is, for family drama.
When gorillas enter the bamboo zone, it’s difficult to predict what might happen. Because bamboo only sprouts during certain seasons, gorillas eagerly seek this nutrient-rich and delicious food when it is available. And, they often encounter other groups with the same goal. Uh-oh!
Who knew bamboo would be so exciting?

Watch out: this dominant silverback is reminding everyone who is boss!
Musilikale has recently been letting members of his group know that HE is the one in charge. Displacement, a fascinating dominance behavior where one gorilla will physically take the place of another, has been a key feature of Musilikale’s strategy to reinforce the hierarchy. While the group generally lives peacefully, the other adult males – Turakomeje, Icumbi and Itorero – should make no mistake: Musilikale is the true head honcho! Read more here.

Fifty-seven years ago, Dian Fossey began her courageous work studying mountain gorillas in Rwanda. Because of their meager population size in 1967, no one – not even Dian herself – could have predicted how these groundbreaking efforts would lead to one of the greatest and most remarkable conservation successes in history: the survival of mountain gorillas.

Well, that’s a plot twist! Here’s how the famously solitary silverback Inshuti saved the day for two gorilla youngsters.
He’s alone no more, and for a really good reason. If you have followed Inshuti’s story, rest assured that we were just as surprised as you may be. Here’s the scoop: when two orphaned gorillas became separated from their natal group just a few months back, we were concerned for their future, as they are too young to survive without being in the care of adults. Enter: Inshuti!
