How Tech Will Save The Endangered Mountain Gorillas | Home Of The Gorillas

Mountain gorillas are endangered, with just 1063 estimated to still be living in the wild.


It’s been over 100 years since the mountain gorilla was first discovered, and sadly in that time their numbers have been decreasing steadily. At one time they were found all across Central Africa, but now they are restricted to just three countries: Rwanda, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).


The mountain gorilla population has been dwindling, but recently, conservation efforts have been starting to make a difference. Leading the way? The Naturalist.


The Naturalist is a Ugandan conservation company has launched the Home of the Gorillas Initiative, which seeks to commercialize activities to generate non-trekking revenues towards mountain gorilla conservation. Working in Uganda that is also home to more than 50% of the world’s remaining mountain Gorillas, The Naturalist is leveraging technology to enable global community engagement with the gorillas, thereby achieving alternative channels to fund gorilla conservation.


The Naturalist will achieve its objectives through a subscription-based “My Gorilla Family” mobile application that allows users to join a gorilla family and contribute to conservation by indulging in activities that a user would with their own family.
