Our Call to Action

On the Brink

Since 2004, we’ve protected Cross River gorillas and other wildlife in West Africa. But with escalating climate and biodiversity crises, we urgently need more Community Rangers to safeguard this rare species.

Together we can prevent their extinction—if we act now.

Guardians of
the Forest.

The Cross River gorilla holds intrinsic value and is vital to the survival of its rainforest—acting as a keystone species and gardener of the forest. A living symbol of our shared natural heritage.

Root Causes of
Gorilla Decline

The Cross River gorilla faces extinction due to habitat loss, human encroachment, bushmeat hunting, and the accelerating impacts of climate change—driven by deforestation, weak enforcement, and lack of sustainable alternatives for local communities.

Empowering People to
Protect the Wild

We protect the Cross River gorilla through community-driven conservation—empowering local people to manage forests, establish protected areas, and train rangers who defend wildlife and restore habitats from the ground up.

Community Rangers
Need You

Communities develop capacity, we provide the training, and you make it possible. Through rangers, forest conservation, and grassroots action, we’re safeguarding Cross River gorillas—and it’s all thanks to supporters like you!

Everything Starts Here – with local community rangers

We don’t believe in quick fixes — only in addressing root causes, building skills, and creating change. Every person, every job, every voice — it adds up.

From Crisis

Impact

Impact begins with people.
More Than Conservation

Healthy Forests.
Stronger Communities.
Improved Livelihoods.

Every community forest is more than a protected area — it’s a step toward lasting harmony between people and nature, rooted in local leadership and collective care.
