Last week, GRACE celebrated World Gorilla Day across eight villages in the DRC. From football matches to tree planting, the day delivered a powerful message of conservation. 🌳⚽ See more: ow.ly/pbGs50TyO4e #WorldGorillaDay #Conservation #GrauerGorillas #ProtectWildlife

You know all those social media posts that show people with big #4X4s driving through #mud #offroad for fun? Yeah, in Congo we call that a #commute.

🦍🌍 Happy #WorldEnvironmentDay, everyone! Let's show some gorilla-sized love to our furry friends by doing our part to preserve their habitats and ensure a future for them and generations to come. #WorldEnvironmentDay #GorillaConservation

🌎🌿Happy #EarthDay! Let's preserve our planet for future generations, including our amazing #gorilla friends. #earthday2024 #protectourplanet #climateaction

Brenda Scott Royce is a finalist for a Benjamin Franklin Award for "Angela and Lulingu: Two Gorillas, a World Apart," a story about two gorillas - one at @LAZoo and one in the @GRACEgorillas sanctuary in #DRCongo. We'll be rooting for you, Brenda!

🌱We celebrate the #women of #bunyatenge who planted trees on #internationalwomensday to help forests and people in eastern #DRC.

🦍 #WorldRewildingDay 🌄 The #gorillas in our sanctuary came to us from the wild as infants, and we want to see them roaming wild again. #Rewilding involves much more than dropping the gorillas off in a random forest and waving goodbye, so we are taking time to do it right.

Please help us celebrate our incredible DR Congo Educators and team by spreading the word! Working closely with community associations and women’s groups, our team pulled off a fantastic #WorldGorillaDay this year ❤️🦍

These special events are a great way to share the importance of gorillas and forests and to build community pride! This year’s events included processionals, educational presentations, speeches, community clean-ups, pride walls, and so much more.

Amazing scenes from our 2023 #WorldGorillaDay celebrations in DR Congo! After expanding to a third community for the first time last year, GRACE doubled down and this year held community celebrations across five communities: Kasugho, Katoyo, Kagheri, Bunyatenge, and Muhanga!

Happy #WorldGorillaDay! We celebrate these gorgeous great apes and recognize the incredible work of our live cam partners at @GRACEgorillas
