Please visit www.koko.org to learn more about the wonderful world of Gorillas.
The primary program of The Gorilla Foundation/Koko.org involves teaching American Sign Language to two lowland gorillas, Koko and Michael (who recently passed away). The Gorilla Language Project, or Project Koko, is the longest continuous inter-species communications project of its kind in the world, and it serves as a unique and irreplaceable resource for the international conservation community.
Studying gorilla intelligence and behavior will lead to a greater understanding of the species' physical and psychological needs. Only through knowledge can humans take the necessary steps to improve the treatment of captive gorillas and protect free-living gorillas from extinction.
Gorilla Exchange proudly believes in the Koko.org initiative and wish for all GorillaExchange members to help donate to their cause.
When you donate $25 or more to the Gorilla Foundation, you'll be helping them ensure the future for Koko and her species by completing the new Maui Ape Preserve, continuing interspecies communication research and educational outreach, and building a bridge to gorillas in Africa via our Wildlife Protectors Fund. And as a special thank you gift from Koko.org, you'll receive the DVD or VHS:
Koko & Friends
which features special footage of Robin Williams' amazing and heartwarming meeting with Koko the signing gorilla, plus Koko communicating with her many other friends, and the inside story behind the building of the new Maui Ape Preserve.
Please note that Robin Williams—honorary co-chair for the Maui Ape Preserve—has formed an extraordinary team with Koko to save great apes.
Thank you for joining them!
