Your contribution to this specific fund will support wild gorilla conservation in Africa. The YoG conservation projects funded through this international campaign encompass all gorilla species and subspecies and will include:

• Promoting local African communities’ awareness, education, and participation in gorilla conservation,

• Providing fuel-efficient stoves to local African communities to reduce firewood and charcoal harvesting in gorilla habitat,

• Supporting conservation-relevant gorilla research,

• Offering sanctuary for gorillas confiscated in the fight against illegal trafficking,

• Rebuilding and strengthening protection and surveillance in key protected areas inhabited by gorillas, and

• Increasing wildlife law enforcement in African countries where gorillas live.

Thank you for supporting the Year of the Gorilla conservation projects through the Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association!
