YOU CAN HELP STOP GORILLAS BEING KILLED AND EATEN |
Celia, you’ll be horrified but, some dissolute, wealthy people consider gorilla meat a ‘delicacy’. Primate meat can be sold for a fortune in cities worldwide and apes are literally on the edge of extinction – our closest relatives are being eaten to death.
Hunted for their meat and body parts – including their heads, hands and bones used for traditional medicine and magical charms – rich urban populations are increasing the demand.
Be part of the solution and bring our closest relatives back from the edge by donating to our Apes on the Edge Appeal today. |
Stop for a moment. Think of these gentle, wise, family animals – peacefully foraging for leaves in the rainforest. Safe, where they belong. |
Until the day their world came crashing down: - Professional poachers come storming into their forest home
- Utterly ruthless, the hunters are armed with automatic rifles
- One by one, midst gut-wrenching panic, they kill the gorillas

Anyone who loves apes will be shocked: - An entire loving family of gorillas shot dead, their bodies heaped in a pile
- Each one is chopped up and dismembered with axes, like meat at a butcher
- A gruesome severed gorilla head is held out, then grotesquely put on a plate
- Piles of gorilla meat are smoked over a fire like a hideous barbeque, then sold

Your gift today will help employ guardians within local communities, supported by Born Free, to keep gorillas safe. You will help these Great Ape Guardians protect gorillas and support our work to crackdown on poachers and bring dangerous, illegal ape-meat dealers to justice.
We know times are tough, but your kindness will help gorillas – remarkable intelligent animals – to live as nature intended.
Thank you!
