I just found these amazing resources online thanks to some friends in the gorilla community.
Next year-2009- has officially been declared the Year of the Gorilla and there is a website that will be outlining plans for this. It can be found at http://www.yog2009.org and has just been launched so check back over time and see what happens and get involved!
The next website can be found at YOG and is about something called the Gorilla Agreement. It has just been adopted by a world governmental body and signed by all gorilla range states in Africa. Check it out! It can be found at http://www.naturalsciences.be/science/projects/gorilla.
That's all for now!

Ecolife foundation is in a grant competition which if we will will give us $100,000 USD to help bring sustainable protein through aquaponics directly to bush meat hunters and their communities. Meeting their needs to reduce pressure on wildlife.
ECOLIFE Foundation will build a Village Aquaponics System at the Limbe Wildlife Center in Cameroon. The Limbe Center is an oasis for orphans of the bush meat trade and also work to reduce poaching by holding classes to educated and provide other opportunities to bush meat hunters. This is a great opportunity to open new doors for micro-economic development and an alternative source of animal protein. $100,000 can ensure that at least three villages impacting endangered wildlife resources also have systems, training and the team to operate them.
The competition ends on January 10th.
