The best way you can help us save gorillas is by becoming a Wildlife Hero for less than $1 a day. You can help save species for future generations!

Gorillas live in forests threatened by logging, mining, disease, and…our electronic devices! Coltan is an ore used in cell phone and computer batteries, and it is found in the gorillas’ home. Recycling your cell phones means the coltan can be reused, which will reduce demand for mining in Africa. Purchasing FSC-certified wood products saves forests. For a life-changing experience, visit the gorillas in Central Africa and observe them “in person”—your park permit fee helps conserve these great apes.
