You can help
One of the ways in which you can help conserve the mountain gorillas is by visiting them. In Uganda, permit rates remain approximately $600 USD. Keep in mind, however, that these fees are helping to limit the number of people who come in contact with these precious animals; and the fees are used to continue conservation efforts.
