August 15, 2023 – Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) launched a pioneering initiative to protect Uganda’s mountain gorilla population by leveraging technology to create sustainable sources of non-trekking revenues to fund #conservation activities in gorilla parks.

The subscription-based technology enables anyone to follow as many gorilla families as they wish, knowing that their subscription goes towards protecting these glorious creatures and building the local communities around them.

For a monthly subscription of $2 paid through a mobile application My Gorilla Family, subscribers will receive an all-access pass to Bwindi-Mgahinga Conservation Area, home to more than 50% of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas.

This app is a huge development for gorilla conservation funding. It’s really fun as well!
I hope you get to track Uganda’s gorillas one day soon. They are very gentle (and quiet) compared to our raucous chimpanzees!
PANT HOOTS from Sunbird Hill… I heard the chimps calling from Kibale Forest just two minutes ago.
