Mission: The Gorilla Organization's (formerly the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund Europe) mission is to secure the survival of gorillas within their natural environment. This is achieved through a programme that supports more than twenty long-term poverty alleviation and environmental education projects in the poor communities close to the gorilla habitat, providing local people with viable alternatives to the unsustainable use of the forest and its resources.

Principal Research Programs: The Gorilla Organization is directly involved in the Mount Tshiaberimu Conservation Project and the Walikale Community Gorilla Reserve, both in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Number of Staff: 19

Species Supported: Mountain Gorilla (Gorilla beringei beringei) Eastern Lowland Gorilla (Gorilla beringei graueri) Mount Tshiaberimu Gorilla (Gorilla beringei graueri or Gorilla beringei rex-pygmaeorum?) (20)
