The Gorilla Foundation

The Gorilla Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation, protection and well-being of gorillas and other great apes through inter-species communication research and education. Established in 1976 as a 501(c)(3) corporation, it is best known for “Project Koko,”  the longest inter-species communication study in history, and the only one involving gorillas.  It  has evolved into an institution that provides a unique resource for great ape conservation, care and understanding.
