Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International

The Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund (originally the Digit Fund) is a charity for the protection of endangered mountain gorillas. The Digit Fund was created by Dian Fossey in 1978 to finance her anti-poaching patrols and prevent further poaching of the mountain gorillas. Fossey established the Karisoke Research Center in the Virunga Volcanoes of Rwanda. The non-profit fund was named in memory of Fossey's favourite gorilla, Digit.
