    do you sell the usual paraphernalia somewhere? t shirts and baseball caps with logos? that kind of thing.? Christmas is coming up and I wondered if I could buy something for the progeny There is a public relations marketing strategy here i.e. “Save the gorillas” that could make you some money” You might not have to do much if you allow someone else to profit from your cause[as I hear is most often done] maybe you do sell something and I just dont see it on your website How about plasticized gorilla crap. In some areas of canada you can buy moose shit inside little cubes of plastic for use as curiosities or paper weights sell me something. If you have sales you should put them up front.

    Great work Diddy!! Mind your footing now - you’re not a gorilla!
    So good to see you all out in the forest. Take care all.

    Hello Diddy, I really liked your explanations on the nests. I understood how they are made by the female and its small, by the sylverback and the patient… An intersting video…Thank you for this video. Attention not to break you a leg… on the course of the return…
    Which pleasure of re-examining this image after this war… Friendships.

    Great video Diddy! I enjoyed your explanations of the nests and why they were positioned where they were. I love learning about the gorillas and it is so good to see you all back in the forest again. Your work is so important and I feel so relieved you all are watching over the gorillas again as I am sure you all are too! You all have my utmost respect and admiration for your dedication and courage. Stay safe please! I look forward to more posts

    Diddy, thank you for a wonderful explanation of the importance of counting gorilla nests. You are terrific.

    BTW, NPR ran a feature story today with Gwen Tompkins traveling with rangers to see the gorillas. Emmanuel was interviewed. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=97602346 Listen to the story and PLEASE leave positive comments so we get more of this coverage.

    Great job Diddy. Very interesting. I’m just so impressed. You really know your stuff! It really just renforces to me how very invalueable you and the other Rangers truly are for the protection of this wonderful species. Keep up the fantastic work and I’m so, so glad you are back at it! Lisa

    Loved this video Diddy! You look totally in your element!
    Thanks for all the updates on your progress there, its fantastic that youre all back there in the parks with the gorillas.

    I hope all the rangers families are (and the rangers themselves?) are safe and doing well?
    all the best!

    Great work Diddy. Also for those of you who were wondering we do not sell merchandise, but it is something we hope to do in coming months. What we will be offering for Xmas, and this should launch this week, is for people to make a donation as a gift, and the recipient will receive a card (photo of gorilla from Kabirizi family on the front!) to that effect. More coming soon…
