Adding Habitat for Gorillas
We are helping to add land to a national park to protect gorillas.
This will increase the amount of protected habitat they have.
We are also working with local Congolese people to develop responsible eco-tourism.
This helps keep gorillas safer.
Researching Chimps and Gorillas
For over a decade, we have supported our partners that research chimp and gorilla behavior.
They also study ape health and population numbers.
Their goal is to work with local people to ensure the long-term survival of chimps and gorillas in the Congo Basin.
How to Help
Recycle old cell phones.
Minerals used to make cell phones are mined in ape habitats.
