Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund
The Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund is dedicated to the conservation and protection of gorillas and their habitats in Africa. We are committed to promoting continued research on their threatened ecosystems and education about their relevance to the world in which we live. In collaboration with government agencies and other international partners, we also provide assistance to local communities through education, health, training and economic development initiatives.

In her final diary entry, Dian Fossey wrote, “When you realize the value of all life, you dwell less on what is past and concentrate more on the preservation of the future.”
Today – nearly 60 years after she began her work – you are part of that future.
It's a legacy still in the making. Support our mission this #GivingTuesday, and see your gift matched, up to $50K.

Congratulations, Urahirwa! 🥳
Urahirwa from Ntambara’s group gave birth to a new infant! When our field team reached the group, they saw the newborn still wet from delivery, just born. They also could clearly see that is a male!
Urahirwa's other offspring, Turikumwe, just reached the juvenile age and is fully weaned, so it's the perfect timing for a new sibling. 💛

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. Jane Goodall, a groundbreaking primatologist and tireless conservationist. Her pioneering work with chimpanzees transformed our understanding of the species, and her lifelong advocacy inspired generations to protect wildlife and their habitats.
Her legacy will continue to guide and inspire all of us in the fight to conserve our planet’s precious species.
