Funds are desperately needed to help support a range of new and on-going activities to conserve great apes and to help the people living alongside them. There are several opportunities to support our work and donations of varying amounts would greatly help. For example:
- CHF 10 (€7) - allows a child to participate in a wildlife club school trip to a gorilla reserve.
- CHF 60 (€40) - pays a month's salary for an anti-poaching ranger.
- CHF 100 (€70) - provides fuel for 2 months for a project education officer to visit local schools and organise slide shows and drama groups to raise awareness of great apes.
- CHF 200 (€140) - buys a year's supply of clothing and equipment for a ranger (e.g. waterproof clothing, sleeping bag, boots, rucksack).
- CHF 600 (€420) - pays for the cost of monitoring one gorilla group for a month.
- CHF 900 (€600) - pays for the production of environmental education materials (e.g. books, leaflets, posters) for local schools.
- CHF 1,200 (€800) - pays for the training of a park guard.
- CHF 5,000 (€3500) - pays for the demarcation of a new gorilla sanctuary.
You too can make a contribution to WWF's International Conservation Programme on this site. Whatever you can give, every contribution counts towards our work around the world.
