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 less than 720 mountain gorillas left in the world, the loss of even one gorilla is a tragedy. The loss of ten gorillas in 2007 alone is devastating. Apes like us must do more – 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 stepped-up 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.
