2009 Year of the Gorilla
2009 is the Year of the Gorilla, a multi-agency initiative backed by the UN among other parties. It aims to increase awareness of the extreme vulnerabilty of these endangered great apes of Africa and to gain funds to increase conservation and education efforts, particularly in those countries such as the Democratic Republic of Congo where the species is most under threat. As you know we work closely with wildlife photographer Andy Rouse who last week spoke at a conference on the Year of the Gorilla and today has launched a signed limited edition print with all profits going to this initiative. The print entitled ‘Generations’ is of three generations of one family of mountain gorillas. To show your support for the gorillas you can purchase this superb print at http://www.printsforprimates.co.uk/.
