Central African forests are teeming with wildlife and are critically important to the health of our planet. Their lush river valleys and rocky mountain peaks contain the world’s second-largest tropical rainforest, an abundance of rare plants, and some of the most endangered primates on Earth—including Western lowland gorillas. In Cameroon, we’re working with local communities to protect wildlife and biodiversity across this vast region.
Join us to celebrate World Gorilla Day and Wild Weekend: African Forest on September 21–22 at the San Diego Zoo. Rustle through the brush and explore how we’re saving, protecting, and caring for fascinating wildlife throughout this forest landscape. From 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., swing into immersive activities for wildlife allies of all ages and discover how you make a difference through our African Forest Conservation Hub.
