Since last year's #EarthDay 15 animal species have gone extinct! Thankfully, #gorillas are still here! But all four sub-species remain under threat and the #gorilla habitat is being destroyed at an alarming rate. On #EarthDay2021 we vow never to give up!

The rate at which we are losing ecosystems is shocking! Just 3% remains completely intact!

Large parts of the #gorilla habitat has either been destroyed or is under threat.

Back in the 1980s, we feared mountain #gorillas would be extinct by the turn of the millennium!
