Dear Friend,
When Koko learned to sign, she opened a door the world didn’t know existed.
Her hands spoke volumes about love, about connection, about what it truly means to listen across species. That simple act became a global movement: conservation through communication.
We’ve created a special tribute video that brings her legacy to life.Please take a moment to watch, reflect, and consider how you can help us continue the work she inspired.
Every gift made in Koko’s honor becomes part of her story.
Your gift today supports:
Local communities in Cameroon protecting Cross River Gorillas
Empathy-based conservation through the Koko Signs app
Research and care driven by Koko’s lifelong example
With deepest thanks and Koko-Love,
The Gorilla Foundation Team
