 The
Gorilla Foundation's Mission
is to bring interspecies communication
to the public in order to
save gorillas from
imminent extinction;
and inspire our children to create
a sustainable future for all
great apes.
Programs:
We
do this by:
•
Research: pioneering
interspecies
communication with gorillas
such as Koko,
Michael and Ndume. This is the longest-running
study of its kind (30 years+).
•
Education: the lessons
of interspecies communication motivate
and activate people of all
ages to become scientists and conservationists.
•
Conservation:
Using the results
of our research and education to solve
the extinction
crisis facing all of the
great ape species (except humans)
— through sanctuaries,
training programs,
ecotourism models
and Koko's power
as an ambassador to change
hearts and minds.
Projects:
In addition to Project
Koko (the Foundation's core project),
we have initiated ambitious programs
such as the Maui
Ape Preserve and the
African
Wildlife
Protectors Fund to
ensure the future for gorillas and
other great apes through continued
interspecies communication research,
education and conservation programs.
