Dear Friend,
When Koko learned to sign, she opened a door the world didnโt 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.
Weโve 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 Kokoโs honor becomes part of her story. As one of our loyal monthly supporters, we hope youโll consider making an additional gift in honor of her birthday.
Your special one-time gift today supports:
Local communities in Cameroon protecting Cross River Gorillas
Empathy-based conservation through the Koko Signs app
Research and care driven by Kokoโs lifelong example
With deepest thanks,
The Gorilla Foundation Team
With deep gratitude and Koko-love,
