Support the IGCP
Mountain gorillas are among the rarest of the world’s great apes, with only two sub-populations, each of which numbers fewer than 400 individuals.
The activities of IGCP and its partners are crucial to their continued survival, to the protection of their forest habitat and, ultimately, to the welfare of the local communities living around the parks.
The survival of the programme itself depends on the support of a variety of donors including bilateral and multilateral agencies, foundations, corporations, individual benefactors and members of the general public.
We are 60% towards our target of $2000 to provide vital clothing and assistance for our park rangers in Rwanda, Uganda and Congo
Some of the ways your donations help
Environmental education
As part of its conservation education programme in Rwanda, IGCP has helped the park authorities to identify community members who act as local ‘ambassadors’ or Animateurs de la Conservation (ANICOs), helping local conservation organizations to spread the conservation message throughout the communes bordering the park.
Community work
IGCP worked with the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) to develop a revenue sharing programme and policy and establish mechanisms for its application around Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park.
Supporting our rangers
At least 100 park guards are needed to protect the forest habitat effectively in PNVi Mikeno sector, DRC. They patrol daily from 0600 until after 1830, to ensure that the gorillas, and other park wildlife, are protected.
