Notes
Description
"Humankind's love of gorillas has long been reflected in literature and film--Tarzan, King Kong, The Jungle Book, Gorillas in the Mist-- and their popularity continues to grow. But due to climate change and poaching, only a few hundred mountain gorillas remain, restricted to just two isolated highland areas in the border region of Uganda, Rwanda, and Congo. Since there are none in captivity, their future depends on their survival in the wild. Greg Cummings was proud, if a little apprehensive, to be signed in 1991 as the executive director of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund UK. In less than two years, he'd gone from West End bartender to executive director of an international organization devoted to saving "the greatest of the great apes." Cummings shares his fascinating experiences as a "wildlife Robin Hood"--raising money from the rich and famous and redistributing it to endangered gorillas and their habitats--during his seventeen years leading the organization."--inside flap.
