It's World Gorilla Day! Today marks World Gorilla Day, a day for celebrating gorillas and empowering global communities to take action for gorilla conservation. Deforestation for palm-oil, illegal wildlife crime and mining for coltan, an alloy used in mobile phones and laptops, are some of the major threats to gorillas in the wild.  Find out how ZSL's conservation work is supporting local communities that live alongside wildlife, such as gorillas, in communities like those in the Dja Biosphere Reserve in Cameroon.
