Image of Dian Fossey with a mountain gorilla behind her, touching her her with his hands. Text below says "Dian Fossey, born on January 16, 1932, became the world's leading expert on mountain gorillas. She ventured into the remote Virunga Mountains of Rwanda in 1967 and established the Karisoke Research Centre, a haven for studying and protecting the endangered gorillas. Fossey's groundbreaking research revolutionized our understanding of gorilla behavior and social structures. She spent years observing them in their natural habitat, earning their trust and documenting their complex lives. She started an international campaign against poaching, especially after the tragic death of her beloved gorilla, Digit. Her murdered body was found on December 26, 1985 in Rwanda. She was probably killed by poachers.
