Congo Rainforest Fund

This is one of the rarest sights on Earth. 🦍

​Meet the Grauer’s gorilla, also known as the eastern lowland gorilla. This incredible subspecies is completely endemic to the eastern valleys of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Unlike their famous neighbors, the mountain gorillas, Grauer's gorillas can only be found right here. 🇨🇩

​But their home is facing a quiet crisis. Rising demographic pressures, agricultural clearing, and habitat deterioration mean these peaceful giants are running out of forest to call home.

​As humans, we have historically been their greatest threat. Now, it is up to us to become their greatest shield. Creating a safe, thriving, and friendly environment for these primates is a massive challenge, but the Congo Rainforest Fund is on the ground every day ensuring their canopy remains intact.

​True conservation means fighting for the spaces they need to survive. We cannot afford to let these magnificent apes disappear. 🌿🛡️
