Mountain Gorilla Conservation Fund

About

The Mountain Gorilla Conservation Fund (MGCF) is dedicated to the conservation and protection of the critically endangered Mountain Gorillas in Africa, their habitat, and working with the people around the National Parks. We have been doing this ever since Dian Fossey asked for help back in 1983.
It's Working
When Ruth Keesling took over the work after Dr. Dian Fossey's murder there were only 248 known mountain gorillas in the world. None of these animals are in captivity. Today, there are an estimated 880 alive and that makes them the only Great Ape that is posting a positive increase in their population numbers.
