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.

Supported Species: Gorilla beringei beringei (mountain gorilla), 20 Gorilla beringei graueri (eastern lowland gorilla)
