In a 40-50 year lifetime, a female mountain gorilla might have only 2-6 surviving offspring. This slow reproduction makes this species even more threatened.

Help Save Mountain Gorillas

With 786 mountain gorillas left in the world, the loss of even one gorilla is a tragedy. The loss of ten gorillas in 2007 alone was devastating. Though no more tragic killings have been reported, we must do more to protect this fragile population – and quickly.

One way you can help right away is by adopting a gorilla or gorilla family through AWF’s African Animal Adoption Center. Your adoption contribution will support mountain gorilla protection. Through our ranger-based monitoring, 24/7 anti-poaching patrols and increased community development, AWF is doing everything we can to ensure gorillas make a comeback.
