Gorilla Iphone App

Article

A BBC News report describes iGorilla, a $4 iPhone and iPad app launched by Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo that lets users follow individual mountain gorilla families through reports, photos and videos, with most of the proceeds going toward the park’s conservation work. The app supports efforts to protect the roughly 720 remaining mountain gorillas, an estimated 211 of which live in Virunga, a Unesco World Heritage Site spanning DR Congo, Rwanda and Uganda that has lost animals to poaching, civil conflict, deforestation and disease.
