🦍 Gorillas are facing a deadly threat, and our frontline rangers need your help.

As Ebola spreads through eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, rangers are working to prevent this devastating virus from reaching vulnerable gorilla populations.

Previous outbreaks have killed an estimated 95% of infected gorillas, making prevention absolutely vital.

Our Ebola Crisis Gorilla Boxes provide rangers with essential equipment, now including face masks, hand sanitiser and thermometers to help reduce the risk of infection.

Help us protect gorillas before it's too late.

A snare isn’t meant for a gorilla. But that doesn’t mean a gorilla won’t become its victim.

Hidden amongst the vegetation on the forest floor, crude wire snares are often set to catch animals such as bush antelope and wild pigs.

But a curious young gorilla can easily become caught - with potentially devastating consequences.

That’s why our Stop the Snares project takes a different approach to conservation.
Rather than simply removing traps, we work with communities and former poachers to tackle the reasons they are set in the first place, providing opportunities to move towards sustainable farming and livelihoods outside the forest.

And it works. 💚

Across 80km² of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, the number of snares has fallen from around 800 to virtually zero.

Just gorillas being gorillas… and we could watch them all day. 🦍💚

Eating, exploring, playing, relaxing or simply watching the world go by - it’s these little glimpses into their everyday lives that remind us just how special they are.

And why protecting them, their families and the forests they call home matters so much. 🌿

With the recent heartwarming news of Lulingu, a rescued Grauer's gorilla who has given birth in the wild, we're reminded of the devastating impact of the illegal wildlife trade.

Lulingu was just 18 months old when she was taken from her family and sold into the illegal wildlife trade. Thankfully, she was rescued and, after years of specialist rehabilitation, successfully reintroduced to the wild in 2024. Now, she's become a mother herself. 💚

But sadly, not every baby gorilla gets a second chance.

Baby gorillas are targeted by traffickers, torn from their families and sold into the exotic pet trade. Capturing just one infant can mean killing several adults desperately trying to protect their young.

A historic UN report estimated that approximately 420 gorillas were lost from the wild annually through illegal hunting and trafficking between 2005 and 2011.

For animals that reproduce so slowly, with females typically giving birth to just one baby every four to six years, every life lost is a devastating blow to their future.

Lulingu's story is a beautiful reminder of what conservation can achieve, but there are countless others who will never get that second chance.

Every baby gorilla deserves to grow up surrounded by their family, in the forests where they belong.

🦍 WE'RE JUST 9% AWAY FROM OUR WORLD GORILLA DAY TARGET! ❤️

Thanks to your incredible generosity, we're SO close to reaching our £3,210 target to equip 10 frontline rangers with 10 Ebola Crisis Gorilla Boxes!

With Ebola threatening critically endangered gorillas in eastern DR Congo, these boxes will provide essential protective supplies and equipment to help keep both rangers and gorillas safe.

We have just £285 left to raise. Can you help us get across the finish line?

Whether it's £5, £10 or whatever you can spare, every donation brings us one step closer to protecting the dedicated people who put their lives on the line for gorillas every single day.

To everyone who has donated, shared or supported our appeal so far, THANK YOU. Together, we can make this happen! 💚

Today, on World Gorilla Day, we’re celebrating gorillas and the people working every day to protect them. 🦍

But Ebola poses a devastating threat. We’re hoping to raise £3,210 today to equip 10 frontline rangers with Ebola Crisis Gorilla Boxes, containing vital protective supplies for their work.

Each box costs £321, but you don’t need to fund a whole one to help. Whatever you can give will support our wider appeal to protect gorillas and the rangers watching over them.

Please donate this World Gorilla Day: justgiving.com/campaign/protect-gorillas-from-ebola

Every young gorilla represents hope for the future of this precious species. By protecting gorilla families and the forests they call home, we can help ensure this new generation has the chance to grow and thrive. 💚

📚 Protecting gorillas begins in the classroom.

On the edge of Uganda’s Mgahinga National Park, the new Nyagakenke Village Primary School is giving local children a brighter future while helping to protect the mountain gorillas living nearby.

Alongside their lessons, pupils are learning about conservation, planting trees and clearing litter from fragile gorilla habitat. By giving children access to education and sustainable opportunities, we can help create a future where local communities and gorillas thrive together. 🌱🦍
