Dear Supporter,

Watch the video above to see how Koko is now inspiring compassionate conservation in Africa through our Koko Signs app — sparking connection with her and all gorillas!

There’s still time: Your Earth Day gift will help us:

1) Deliver the Koko Signs app to more gorilla habitats across Africa — empowering children and adults to connect with gorillas as thinking, feeling beings.

2) Create a compassionate conservation curriculum — using Koko and Michael’s sign language stories to spark empathy and inspire local action.

3) Empower community-led protection for Cross River gorillas — the most endangered gorilla subspecies on Earth, with fewer than 300 remaining in the wild.

Koko showed us what’s possible when we give gorillas a voice; we can protect them from extinction!

Thank you for your ongoing support!

Koko gives Penny a flower

With deep gratitude and Koko-love,
