GORILLA

The gorilla is the largest of the great apes or hominids. Humans are part of the hominid family as well. Therefore it isn't surprising that there are many similarities between gorillas and humans. Humans and great apes have a common ancestor. So it is not true that man is descended from apes. Like all humanoids, gorillas have no tail. But unlike humans, gorillas don't walk upright but move on their knuckles and feet. They may walk upright for a short period, but because the different position of the pelvis this is not their normal body posture... Our vision for the future is for gorilla's to live freely and in harmony in their natural habitat together with humans. The Dutch Gorilla Foundation hopes to accomplish this by providing education in the Netherlands. We also raise funds for a range of different projects in Africa. As an organization we are young but our board is very experienced, has a lot of knowledge and is very motivated! We have an ANBI certification, this means your gift..
