Sadly, of the four sub-species of gorilla that exist on our planet, all are either classified Endangered or Critically Endangered by the IUCN Gorillas are balancing on the very edge of extinction. One of the sub-species – the Cross River gorilla – is believed to number only 300 individuals.
Threats posed by poaching for bushmeat, habitat loss and degradation of their natural habitat have fragmented remaining populations into ever smaller groups that are unable to recover from these human activities.
Help protect gorillas in the wild with an animal adoption and you’ll receive an exclusive adoption pack containing all of these items…
Your own cuddly toy gorilla to keep at home.
Toy may vary from one shown.
Including a personalised certificate, animal story, fact sheet and glossy photo to display.
A copy of our bi-annual Wild Life magazine with exclusive updates.
Adoptions last one year (those paid monthly by direct debit roll over until cancelled).
Adopters will also receive a copy of our Wild Life magazine, published twice a year, which includes
updates on our animals and the impact you as a supporter has helped to deliver.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the recent sad death of one of our adopted gorillas, Mugaruka, our gorilla adoption pack is currently
in the process of being updated. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

For overseas orders customs charges may be levied prior to delivery. We would suggest checking to see if these may apply before placing your order.
Orders do not need to be signed for, but come in a box which won’t fit through the letterbox so you will need to be available to accept the delivery. A card will be left if you’re unavailable.
