Quando, seis anos depois, Digit foi morto por caçadores, ele se tornou a cara da campanha global de Fossey para salvar os gorilas. Ela fundou a Digit Fund, que agora se chama Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund e atualmente continua a preservar o trabalho dela.
The Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International (originally the Digit Fund) is a charity for the protection of endangered mountain gorillas. The Digit Fund was created by Dr. Dian Fossey in 1978 for the sole purpose of financing her anti-poaching patrols and preventing further poaching of the mountain gorillas.
In 1978, she established the Digit Fund, named after one of her favourite gorillas, Digit, who was brutally murdered by poachers that same year. The Digit Fund helped finance vital ranger patrols, keeping gorillas safe from hunters.
The Gorilla Organization was founded in the early 1990s to support the anti-poaching patrols created by the pioneering primatologist Dr. Dian Fossey. Building on Dr. Fossey’s legacy, we looked into the reasons why wild gorilla poaching was so prevalent in Africa’s national parks.
