GRACE Gorillas

REWILDING HOPE FOR Grauer's Gorillas! 

For the first time, GRACE and its partners rewilded four female Grauer's gorillas to Virunga National Park in eastern DR Congo. Isangi, Lulingu, Mapendo, and Ndjingala are thriving alongside wild silverback Mwasa.

The success of this rewilding is a testament to the incredible rehabilitative care gorillas receive at GRACE, the Gorilla Rehabilitation and Conservation Education Center. GRACE is the only sanctuary dedicated to caring for Grauer's gorillas rescued from the illegal wildlife trade.

Four gorillas have made history—returning to the wild after years of care at GRACE. But rewilding is just the beginning. These gorillas still need monitoring, support, and protection in their new forest home. And back at GRACE, other rescued Grauer’s gorillas—survivors of the illegal wildlife trade—are still on their path to healing. Your gift helps us care for all of them, every step of the way.

A GORILLA SANCTUARY — AND SO MUCH MORE

GRACE partners with Congolese communities to create a living landscape where gorillas and people thrive. In addition to our sanctuary operations, we work hand-in-hand with Congolese communities to support forest conservation, gorilla protection, and sustainable livelihoods that benefit people, gorillas and forests. By supporting GRACE, you make an impact across our program areas:
