There are just over 1,000 mountain gorillas left in the wild and, with such a slow reproductive rate, it takes a long time for their population to grow. We need to support them 🙏 We are working directly in Uganda to support the mountain gorilla population in Bwindi Forest and the local community there. 🦍 Find out more and support the project through the link in our bio: @vivacharity Video edited from Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund | Viva!

Our scientific studies of mountain gorillas began when Dian Fossey came to Africa in 1967. Our work is now the world’s longest-running gorilla research site and includes cutting-edge, award-winning science on gorillas, their habitat and more. Check out this cool study on mountain gorilla population growth. https://gorillafund.org/press-releases/press-release-new-study-shows-mountain-gorilla-population-growth-related-to-group-density-and-female-movements/ 📸: Pelagie Mutuyimana | Dian Fossey Gori
