Protecting Mountain Gorillas

http://features.csmonitor.com/environment/2009/05/12/standing-up-for-congo’s-rare-mountain-gorillas/

This was an interesting and touching article about Innocent Mburanumwe, the ranger in charge of gorilla monitoring for the Congolese Wildlife Authority. Not only does he deal with the risks of rebels attacking him, his family or his home but poachers have also led attacks. Innocents passion to conserve nature and gorillas keeps him going. There is also a bit at the end on what not to do if you run into a mountain gorilla in the forest.

Photos: Breakfast With The Gibbons

Here are some photos from Breakfast with the Gibbons yesterday. It was a hot day but PSA members had a great time at the fundraising event which included a vegan breakfast and a tour of the center. If you couldn’t make it yesterday the event is biannual and will be held again in October!

Animals in the Spotlight: Our Community Wildlife

Animals in the Spotlight is an event hosted by Roots & Shoots CSUF. (Many PSA students are also members!)

The event will be held at Cal State Fullerton in room 110-H on March 6th at 6:30 p.m. There will be speakers from Friends of Coyote Hills as well as Hills for Everyone.

There will be opportunity drawings with great prizes!
This event is a potluck so please bring food or drinks and come learn about the threats to our local wildlife!
