To protect and moniter the health of vunerable populations of mountain and eastern lowland gorillas in Rwanda , Uganda and the Democratic Repbublic of Congo.

Background: 

I became involved by financially supporting Gorilla doctors following a trip to Bwindi Impenetrable forest in Uganda . it was a privilege to spend time with these amazing primates in their natural environment . They are so vunerable due to habitat loss , poaching and disease and need all the help they can get . They were so tolerant , although I was a bit spooked when an enormous blackback called Happy crashed through the forest to within 12 feet of me! - se pic
