GORILLA REHABILITATION AND CONSERVATION EDUCATION (GRACE)

Located in the Democratic Republic of Congo near the Tayna Nature Reserve, the Gorilla Rehabilitation and Conservation Education Center (GRACE) cares for gorillas rescued as infants from the illegal wildlife trade. The ultimate goal is to reintroduce them back into the wild. More than just a sanctuary, GRACE works with Congolese communities on conservation education, forest protection, and sustainable livelihoods to protect wild gorillas and their habitat in DRC and foster a peaceful coexistence between humans and gorillas.

Your L.A. Zoo funding supports sanctuary operations, veterinary care, vaccinations, education programs, and more.
