Dian Fossey was born in San Francisco, California in 1932
she became interested in studying mountain gorillas.
In 1967, Fossey began observing gorillas in karisoke. She lived there for almost 18 years among the gorillas, and eventually earned their complete trust. She was the first person to have voluntary contact with a gorilla, when one of them touched her hand. She was able to sit amongst them and play with them and their young.
Fossey was able to learn a great deal about mountain gorillas during her stay there. We now know much more about gorillas behavior and their relationship to humans as a result of her work.
A few years later, the gorillas of Dian Fossey were killed by poachers. In response to this, she started a campaign against gorilla poaching.
she established the Digit Fund and dedicated her life to saving the gorillas.
she accepted a job at Cornell University and started writing her book Gorillas in the Mist, which was eventually made into a movie.
After finishing the book, she returned to Karisoke to continue her work with the gorillas.
The fossey work has raised the world is awareness to the dangers faced by the mountain gorilla.
in 1985, Dian Fossey was found murdered in her cabin. Her death is still unsolved
the Mountain gorillas are now protected by the government and by other international organizations.
I like Dian Fossey because she was a woman that loved to the animals and she sacrificed her life for understand and help gorillas .
Fossey become interesting when I saw the movie Gorillas in the Mist: The Story of Dian Fossey this film is very special for me.
