It's September 24th, 🦍 World Gorilla Day. This worldwide celebration commemorates the day in 1967 that Dr. Dian Fossey established the Karisoke Research Center in Rwanda's Volcanoes National Park. Karisoke, which is now run by the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund, is dedicated to the study, conservation, and protection of gorillas and their habitats. Dr. Fossey was an American zoologist who lived from 1932 to 1985. She spent much of her life in Africa and became the world's leading authority on the Mountain Gorilla. Hollywood turned her bestselling book, "Gorillas in the Mist," into a blockbuster film starring Sigourney Weaver as Dr. Fossey.

According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), there are only around 600 mature Mountain Gorillas left in the wild. They’re found within high-altitude mountain and bamboo forests in just two isolated groups – one in the Virunga volcanoes – spanning the borders of Rwanda, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), and one in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in Uganda, contiguous with the DRC’s Sarambwe Nature Reserve. Mountain gorillas are completely vegetarian, feeding on leaves, shoots, and stems. They live in groups of several females with their young and one dominant adult "silverback" male – easily identified by his huge size, regal demeanor, and a patch of silver hair on his back.

All four subspecies of gorillas – the Cross River Gorilla, Grauer’s Gorilla, Western Lowland Gorilla, and the Mountain Gorilla – are critically endangered due to illegal poaching, civil unrest, disease, and habitat destruction. However, there are many great organizations and individuals all over the globe who are dedicated to fighting for the gorillas’ survival. Each of us can make a difference to ensure a bright future for these noble creatures. Please help carry the torch for Dr. Fossey. ☮️ Peace… Jamiese of Pixoplanet
