Humans are pushing the Grauer's gorilla of Congo into extinction. These gorillas, the largest primate in the world, face perilous threats from human encroachment, poaching, and forest degradation. Critically endangered, they lost 80% their population in just 20 years.

In 2022 I co-founded the Congo Rainforest Fund. Our mission is to conserve the Congo Rainforest, thereby protecting the habitat of the Grauer's gorilla, preserving the diversity of flora and fauna in the rainforest, and helping mitigate the climate crisis.

Scientists have recently determined that the Congo Rainforest is Earth’s most important lung, and hence now, a climate change priority.

We work to educate the local communities on conservation, protect Grauer's gorilla, establish conservation efforts, create new protected areas, and promote ecotourism.
