Its Working
Thanks to the generosity of our contributors, much progress has been made over the years to increase the gorilla population. Through endless efforts to keep Dian Fossey’s dream alive, the MGCF has many projects to help continue the population increase.
We are very happy to announce another increase in the Mountain Gorilla population in Rwanda and Eastern Congo and in Uganda. The estimated total today is 880 Mountain Gorillas in the world, up from 248 in 1985. The Mountain Gorilla is the only Great Ape posting a positive increase in their population in the world. This shows our working model is proving successful.
880
We thank everyone who contributed to this effort!
We all must think into the future for the gorillas to survive.
