            Vladimir,

            A small patch of forest in Cameroon is home to some of the most 
critically endangered gorillas on Earth.

            Deforestation and poaching are threatening to wipe these rare 
apes out. But locals know exactly how to save them!

            They’ve set up patrols to monitor deforestation and clearly 
demarcate the forest as a protected area so that communities who live nearby 
know to defend it from loggers.

            It’s working – but with almost no funding, this sanctuary is 
struggling to keep their ape-saving work alive. They’re urgently asking for 
help so they can hire more eco-guards and pay for equipment like camera 
traps to monitor deforestation and poaching threats deep in hard to reach 
forest areas before the last gorilla disappears.

            If all of us chip in, we can help beat the tide of deforestation 
threatening to wipe out some of the world’s most endangered species.

            Can you chip in to help wild places everywhere thrive?

            Barely anyone knows about the Mengamé gorilla sanctuary in the 
heart of the Congo Basin’s rainforest, even though its existence is vital to 
saving some of the world’s rarest apes.

            While the world’s attention is focused on protecting 
better-known areas of the iconic Congo Basin, this overlooked 26,780 hectare 
pocket is in dire need of help. It’s the sole protected area – and a beacon 
of hope – in a sea of rainforest earmarked for logging. But deforestation is 
already encroaching on this precious gorilla haven.

            The sanctuary is rushing to defend it by working with local 
villages to set up a community monitoring system, tracking deforestation 
alerts with satellite data, patrolling the forest to monitor tree loss, and 
alerting government conservation agencies if they find suspicious activity.

            But the funds they had to start this genius project are running 
out and if they can’t keep this ape-saving work going, the Mengamé sanctuary 
could be slashed down, taking the gorillas with it.

            With all of us chipping in, our partners could purchase vehicles 
to access hard to reach areas in the remote sanctuary, hire more eco-guards 
to patrol the forest and keep engaging with local communities to protect 
their forest home tree by tree.

            Critically endangered species are more at risk of extinction 
than ever before. Can you chip in to help wild places everywhere thrive 
again?
