Sharing the love

While browsing Youtube one day I came across this channel by i Bosch i ボッシュ from Japan. I Bosch i posts videos twice daily of a family of gorillas and a family of chimpanzees. I was soon hooked by the gorilla family. I never knew how loving, caring, funny and smart they could be. I soon started looking for other gorilla videos and found others who also post videos of gorilla troops across the world. I fell in love. I started on a campaign to find out as much as I could and do what I could to help save the great apes. This website is one small part of that project.
