Woman's video diary of critically endangered mountain gorillas she is helping save

An animal rights campaigner has released her video and picture diary - meeting the critically endangered mountain gorillas she is helping to save.

Juliet Gellatley, founder of Viva!, travelled to Uganda to give money and aid to the local communities working directly on the ground who provide our 'last hope' for protecting the species.

The iconic mountain gorilla, one of our closest primate relatives of which we share 98 per cent of our DNA, has a remaining population of just 1,063.

Uganda is home to half of the mountain gorillas left on the planet.

The Bristol-based vegan charity is collaborating with its sister group, Viva! Uganda that Juliet also founded; as well as HUGO (Human & Gorilla Conflict Resolution teams) and the Ugandan Wildlife Authority to supply much-needed equipment to the volunteers who protect these mountain gorillas in Bwindi National Park.
