World Gorilla Day 2024

World Gorilla Day is an annual event celebrating gorillas and empowering global communities to take action for gorilla conservation. Rwanda’s forestry is home to the Mountain Gorilla, the world’s most endangered ape. Communities living around protected forests like Volcanoes National Park, home to the endangered Mountain Gorillas, are beneficiaries of the Live Well programme. Reducing firewood demand and air pollution in these communities is lessening the burden on natural resources and protecting wildlife habitats.
