World Gorilla Day 2025 celebrates Dian Fossey and highlights how conservation, tourism, and community efforts helped mountain gorillas rebound from critically endangered to endangered.
World Gorilla Day on September 24, 2025, honors conservationist Dian Fossey and highlights efforts to protect endangered gorillas, with mountain gorillas in Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable National Park serving as a conservation success story.
Both eastern and western gorillas are endangered, with three of four subspecies critically endangered due to habitat loss, poaching, and disease.
Tourism, regulated to minimize health risks—requiring a 7-meter distance—generates revenue that funds conservation and supports local communities.
In Uganda, revenue sharing has transformed former poachers into rangers and community protectors, reducing threats and helping the mountain gorilla population surpass 1,000.
The species’ status improved from critically endangered to endangered, demonstrating how responsible tourism and community involvement can drive wildlife recovery.
