Big Gorilla – Story

Gorilla Conservation through Journalism.

Creating awareness on endangered mountain Gorillas and the rainforests they live in

Why Big Gorilla Story?

Through short newsy video stories, we want to inform, educate and inspire a passion for conservation in people to protect the endangered mountain Gorillas and the rainforests they live in.

We aim at increasing conservation coverage of the endangered mountain gorillas, and amplifying local voices in the international debate about mountain Gorillas protection.
