Our Disappearing Planet is delighted to have awarded another grant to the Born Free Foundation who with The Last Great Ape Organisation LAGA is about to seize three more baby chimps from a foreign logging company in Cameroon
The Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International
Our Disappearing Planet is delighted to have awarded another grant to The Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International to help towards the on-going protection of gorillas by 25 trackers and 2 armed anti-poaching patrols (five-member teams) of the Karisoke Research Center.
The trackers and anti-poaching patrols are the lifeline for the gorillas.
After the poaching attacks in 2002 which resulted in the death of 9 mountain gorillas, the Karisoke Research Center began dawn-to-dusk protection for the groups we had at that time.
This protection continues today and trackers remain in close, but not always visual, proximity to the gorillas so they can deter poachers from attacking these habituated gorilla groups.
The Tropical Zoo
Our Disappearing Planet is delighted to have awarded a grant to The Tropical Zoo.
Many of the animals at The Tropical Zoo are endangered and it is especially important to let the many visiting children know about each animal, why they are threatened in the wild and what can be done to help, as the children of today are the adults of tommorrow that can help save the many endangered animals and their critically threatened habitat.
