I'm so proud and moved by this young girl power and commitment. She is such a great model for our kids and for us all! I wish we'll all follow her example and don't be afraid to push for changes! Thank you @GretaThunberg

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Just 16, @GretaThunberg is already one of our planet’s greatest advocates. Recognizing that her generation will bear the brunt of climate change, she’s unafraid to push for real action. She embodies our vision at the @ObamaFoundation: A future shaped by young leaders like her.

@melissammathews @ve_vecellio After a gorilla dies, their skeleton is preserved and scientists come to Rwanda from around the world to study them. An amazing amount of information is found in the skeletons and so we can keep learning about the gorillas even after they die.

[Veronica Vecellio @ve_vecellio]

I'll be there I never missed one!

For 29 years Partners in Conservation has supported @savinggorillas. On top of the financial help, the well recognized annual tradition to distribute socks (really special ones) to the Fossey Fund staff took place yesterday! Thank you @tworealists for your fundraising!

[Tworealists @tworealists]

Here is a little taste of sock day. This day was amazing. Being able to give the trackers the socks that we raised money for was unforgettable. These men and women work hard to protect the gorillas This day is indescribable, the only way to truly know the joy is to experience it!

Back in 2014, our friends at Craghoppers made this award-winning video, Hope, about Dian Fossey's incredible efforts to protect the mountain gorillas of Rwanda. Check it out: https://t.co/h72xM7pNju 🦍 #FlashbackFriday

Gorillas manifest emotions in response to the death of a family member. In this publication we put together some of our observations in Rwanda and DRC. It's a fascinating topic which brings us even closer to them. Today we'll have a Q/A at #gorillagrief @SavingGorillas

[Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund @SavingGorillas]

❓Fossey Fund scientists in Rwanda and Congo have been observing how gorillas react to the death of one of their own species. Tomorrow we will have a Q&A on this fascinating study and will get to as many questions as we can. Ask away! #gorillagrief https://t.co/YaieRSXU1s
