With a total world population of around 720 mountain gorillas struggle to survive in central Africa’s dense forests. The IGCP, a partnership between FFI, the World Wide Fund for Nature and the Africa Wildlife Foundation, supports protected area authorities in three countries to improve conservation of gorillas and their mountain forest habitat and to improve local livelihoods to help mitigate threats to this Critically Endangered species.
DID YOU KNOW? FFI was the founding force behind the International Gorilla Conservation Programme. In the 1980s, Sir David Attenborough helped raise £500 to plant the seed which eventually grew into a world renowned, multi-partner conservation programme. See the video below for more information. |
“If you value the natural world, if you believe it should be conserved for its own sake as well as for humanity’s, then do please support FFI.” Sir David Attenborough, FFI Vice President. Please support us today.
