There are only around 1,063 mountain gorillas left in the wild.
Disease poses serious threats to mountain gorillas.
They are highly susceptible to human respiratory illnesses, and we need to assume that the virus which causes COVID-19 is no different. We’re supporting contingency planning to minimise the risk to mountain gorillas during the coronavirus outbreak. Mountain gorilla tourism is suspended, with only essential monitoring of the gorillas continuing.

YOUR ADOPTION REALLY HELPS
Animal adoptions like yours give a huge boost to our work. They not only help fund projects to work with local communities to monitor gorilla movement and reduce human-gorilla conflict but also fund our other vital work around the world.
