We�re just a few days away from December 2nd, Giving Tuesday, a global event when people celebrate the holiday season by giving back. This year, you can join the "UnSelfie Movement" by making a gift that will allow the Gorilla Foundation and our ambassador, Koko the Gorilla, to protect free living gorillas and great apes.

Your gift will help support our efforts to educate people worldwide about the dangers � poachers hunting for bushmeat, habitat loss, and contagious diseases � that face this gentle, caring species. We know for certain that the more humans understand and have empathy for gorillas, the less likely we are to bring harm to them. But, without our help, these magnificent animals stand on the brink of extinction.

Please, there is no better time to give, and no better way to make an impact than with a gift right now!

Thank you for giving and for being compassionate!

	Sincerely,
	Penny Patterson, President    and Director of Research    The Gorilla Foundation
