Details Mountain gorilla Project

Initiator of this project is Matto Barfuss, who became famous worldwide as "cheetahman". Matto has already spent several months living close to animal. He has shown through his experiences that creatures, who are usually perceived as dangerous, are often much closer to humans than they seems to be. Through his films, drawings and oil paintings Matto Barfuss has documented and presented his experiences. With the proceeds from the sale of his works, he has already financed several projects for animal protection, including protection of mountain gorillas in the Congo, to which the German "wildman" have developed a close relationship. Since the mid-90s, their habitat has been increasingly restricted by thousands of refugees from neighbouring Rwanda. It is time to defend these animals from more attacks by the rebels and poachers. To achieve this, the equipment of park rangers should be continuously improved. In addition, the initiative "Education for Species Protection" should contribute to permanent improvements on indispensable knowledge of this area.
