“When you realize the value of all life, you dwell less on what is past and concentrate more on the preservation of the future”

Dr Dian Fossey 

Why should I remember the Gorilla Organization in my Will?

Gorillas, along with chimpanzees and bonobos, are our closest relatives. Yet tragically these intelligent, gentle creatures are on the brink of extinction. The world's last remaining mountain gorillas live in the lush forests of the Virungas Massif and Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in central Africa, but the demand for their precious habitat is posing one of the greatest threats to the future of these magnificent animals.  

By leaving a legacy to the Gorilla Organization you will help to ensure that gorillas and their forest home are protected for generations to come. 

Your gift will make a real difference to our gorilla conservation projects tackling the long-term threats to the gorillas’ survival. For example:

• £1,000 could provide educational materials for 350 Wildlife Clubs for one year, helping to educate the next generation of gorilla guardians
• £6,000 could fund a ranger patrol post in the gorilla forests of eastern DRC for one year
• £10,000 could build a protective wall between the gorilla habitat and farmland, allowing the gorillas and their human neighbours to thrive in peace
• £100,000 could fund our basic programme in DRC for one year
