Mafuko has already known loss.

When she was just four years old, her mother was killed by poachers. It is the kind of loss that shapes a life, long before adulthood begins.

Your donation today can help protect gorillas like Mafuko and her twins https://t.co/4SDxZBe8E2

🦍 Imagine living through generations of fear and still finding ways to trust again.

New research by Concordia Uni found that gorillas can learn to distinguish between people who pose a threat and those who don't.

A reminder that conservation is built on patience and trust.

🦍 How do you count gorillas in a dense rainforest?

The answer might surprise you!

Conservation teams search for clues. During a gorilla census, trackers walk planned routes, recording nests, feeding sites, footprints, and even droppings.

Is gorilla trekking ethical? 🦍

Ever seen gorillas chew bark? 🌿🦍

For gorillas, bark is far more than just a snack. Packed with fibre and nutrients, it becomes an important food during drier seasons when fruit is harder to find. Gorillas strip and chew tough bark a process that also helps clean their teeth.

Protected by forests but threatened by habitat loss🦍.

Across Rwanda, Uganda, and the DRC, forests are disappearing.

Through our Gorilla Safe Zone project, we’re working alongside local communities to protect these vital forests before it’s too late.

Mafuko is falling behind her troop, carrying newborn twins through the forest mist.

Two tiny lives depend entirely on her - she’s exhausted, weak from birth, and fighting to survive.

But you can help protect her - https://t.co/4SDxZBeGtA

🦍What if gorillas could help fund their own protection?

New tech gives gorillas digital IDs + wallets, triggering real-time funding for conservation when protection is verified.

A bold step toward results-based conservation that works for people and wildlife.

“Pablo” stole hearts in DA's new documentary 🦍💚 - but not all gorillas are so friendly.

Cross River gorillas are extremely shy and may even throw sticks or rocks if humans get too close - it’s how they survive.

Support The Gorilla Organization to help protect them. 🌍
