There's just 1,069 mountain gorillas left in the world
Please don't let this be their last Christmas together
A deadly Ebola outbreak is threatening gorillas in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. More than nine out of ten infected gorillas could die, wiping out entire families.
This Christmas, our dedicated rangers are prepared to leave their loved ones behind to protect vulnerable gorilla families. But they urgently need food, shelters, protective clothing and essential equipment.
Every day we keep Ebola away is another day a gorilla family can remain together.
