Protect Virunga's Endangered Gorillas

Your contribution is vital for preserving one of Africa’s largest populations of wild mountain gorillas. It supports the efforts of Virunga’s 98 specialist trackers, all from the local community, who carry out critical conservation work under often difficult and dangerous conditions. These dedicated individuals venture into the gorilla sector daily, monitoring habituated gorilla families and safely removing snares to protect their habitat, even amid ongoing regional conflict.
