Speaker: Tommi Wolfe, Executive Director, GRACE (Gorilla Conservation Rehabilitation Center)
GRACE Center is located in a remote area next to the Tayna Nature Reserve, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, a priority habitat for Grauer’s gorilla conservation since around 300 gorillas live there (8% of remaining wild population) along with other endangered wildlife including chimpanzees and okapi. GRACE is the only conservation NGO located in this region and therefore plays an important role in
protecting this stronghold for gorillas. GRACE’s mission is to provide excellent care for rescued Grauer’s gorillas and work alongside Congolese communities to promote the conservation of wild gorillas and their habitat.
