@IamIvanPicazo We are so grateful! 🫶🫶🦍

Good morning crypto sphere! It's simply great to wake up and see that things are still being built. Meet the newest member of the $APES family! They just adopted Zuk! This is incredible... Good stories are meant to be repeated. The Dian Fossey Foundation can continue working to preserve the species and keep changing the world. Apes together are stronger. Look at the chart, look at all the important accounts that follow us like @wallstreetbets , that comment. That were there... Meaningful real-world impact is the goal. It's all about community; without community, there is nothing. Together, we are STRONG. Grab a banana and enjoy, this is just the beginning. ChNrhBZwGtn1ZRsrdzcuBqiKTYfVViCPZqJdsgBHpump

JUST IN: The $APES “Ape Strong Together” community adopts two apes through the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund, the same charity backed by WallStreetBets in 2021.

@IamIvanPicazo We are so thankful! Together, we can truly make a difference! 🦍

That's what the crypto sphere is for. That's what being united is for. Stronger. Ape Together Strong $APES community adopts two apes through the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund gorillafund.org, this is truly amazing. Dian was one of the most important women (along with Jane Goodall) in the fight for the conservation and fundamental study of apes and gorillas. We live in a world where there is still much to be done. But united & stronger, it will always be easier. Remember, the same charity backed by WallStreetBets in 2021.

Meet Narame! 🦍 He's a 3-year-old infant who lives in the Mutobo group. He's curious, playful and enjoys having fun in the forest with his friends. In these photos, he's taking a little rest on a nice day. ☀️ 💡 Want to support gorillas like Narame? Consider making a year-end gift to the Fossey Fund: save.gorillafund.org/campaign/69961… 📸 Cedric Dushimimana

@GemmaSm47547618 You're welcome!

@SavingGorillas Thank you.

Silverback Gicurasi, the oldest member of the historic Pablo group, has not been seen by our trackers since June 1, just after his 30th birthday, despite extensive searching. His absence from the group and the nearby area has raised concern, but we also have hope, as history reminds us that disappearances do not always mean the end. 💡 Read the full story: gorillafund.org/gorilla-protec…

@GemmaSm47547618 Wild male gorillas can typically live into their mid 30s, with some reaching their late 30s. Although silverback Agashya recently reappeared after disappearing for three months, and he is 42 years old. It can vary.

@SavingGorillas Very concerning, but how long do they normally live for? Hope he's just hiding somewhere.

Golden monkeys are the only other primate living in the Virunga forests with mountain gorillas, and as an endemic and endangered species, they are also a major focus of our daily protection and scientific work. 🐒 💡 Learn more about golden monkeys: gorillafund.org/golden-monkey/…

Get your very own TJ plush! 🦍 ✨ We've teamed up with Wild Republic to create this replica of Titus, the “Gorilla King.” Titus, studied by Dian Fossey and the silverback of his group, was a strong but gentle leader. He had a very distinct noseprint, which was the inspiration for this gorilla plush, TJ! Made with soft, eco-friendly materials and lifelike features, TJ makes a GREAT holiday gift for the conservationist in your life! 🎁 ✨ Get your very own TJ today: store.gorillafund.org/products/titus…

Grooming is an important part of gorilla life! 🦍 🦍 In this video, see 4-year-old Kwanda groom silverback Turakomeje. Watch as young Kwanda meticulously combs through Turakomeje's hair, looking for any bugs, dirt or debris. For gorillas, grooming is not just important for hygiene, but also helps gorillas bond and relax. 💛 📸 Jean Marie Vianney Ndagiwenimana

Wait… you’re telling me that gorillas “sing?” 🤔 🎶 In this video, hear from the Fossey Fund’s own Gorilla Program Senior Advisor, Veronica Vecellio, where she’ll explain this AMAZING behavior! 🦍🎵 📹 Original video by Jordi Galbany

It's a BIG day! 🥳 🎉 Today, Ubusugire turns 4 years old! Little Ubusugire, or "Ubi" for short, lives in the Pablo group. 🦍 Happy birthday, Ubi! 💛 Did you know that you can adopt Ubusugire? Symbolic adoptions make GREAT gifts and support gorilla protection. 🎁 💡 Learn more: gorillafund.org/adopt?utm_sour… 📸 Josue Nsengiyumva

In her final diary entry, Dian Fossey wrote, “When you realize the value of all life, you dwell less on what is past and concentrate more on the preservation of the future.” Today – nearly 60 years after she began her work – you are part of that future. It's a legacy still in the making. Support our mission this #GivingTuesday, and see your gift matched, up to $50K. 💡 Learn more OR donate: save.gorillafund.org/campaign/73948…
