udopt'r choice
Gorilla’s are predominantly herbivorous that inhabit the forests of central Sub-Saharan Africa. There are four sub-species of gorilla; Western highland and lowland and Eastern highland and lowland. All are either classified as endangered or critically endangered.
They are the largest living primates. Their DNA is very similar to human DNA, and are the closest living relatives to humans after chimpanzees and bonobos.
udopt it because
- Adopting a gorilla through Born Free provides vital funding to support conservation efforts for these beautiful and highly intelligent creatures.
- The main threats posed to gorilla’s are habitat loss, poaching and degradation of their natural habitat. Funds from your Born Free adoption will support the protection and conservation of wild gorillas in Kahuzi-Biega National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Born Free collaborate with governments, law enforcement and conservation organisations to try and bring to an end the illegal trade in wildlife.
- Adopting a gorilla makes for a fantastic gift. Not only will it delight and educate the recipient but funds will go towards Born Free’s critical work.
- Adoption programmes start from as little as £3.00 a month.
