In this day of post-Christmas S. Stephen, after lunch lucculiani consumerist & gifts, I want to linger in the memory of a modern heroine, martyr of the animal, ke was vital in the fight against poaching of gorillas in Rwanda , Dian Fossey, which sadly today marks the 25th anniversary of the violent death!
She was a veterinary & zoologist U.S. , k and devoted much of his life to the study of observation & gorilla , following in the footsteps of Jane Goodall , a great scholar British of chimpanzees , vegetarian and a fervent advocate of nonviolence and causes environmental & humanitarian!
But it was the 1966 , under the guidance of the famous paleontologist Louis Leakey , Dian ke began its activity in stable Africa & Its long-term studies on gorilla , which picked up the cry of alarm, so as to become the largest & + fierce supporter!
His intense observations x hundreds of hours of enabled her to establish a special relationship with the unapproachable groups of wild primates , so much to hear that you found each other , k and that family never had in life, because of his troubled childhood !
But the methods of Fossey, vary much from those of the international scientific community, ke had left her alone to fight his battle important and too critical of the fundamentalists against the Batwa tribe, k actually Then he caused the death in a cowardly ambush the night in his hut December 26 1985 !
Both ke m kiedevano if it discusses several healthy of mind, but now Dian had a single mission in life: to save her beloved gorillas by human violence, in fact it is the sentence: "Man kills an animal today ke , tomorrow will be the man ke ke kill people disturb him!
But what k + rikiamò attention and indifference to their risk of extinzione World were his numerous TV appearances after the documentation of his work, published in newspapers by the photographer Bob Campbell , k and so allowed her to create the "-Dian Fossey Gorilla--Fund", with the order to find funds for the preservation of African primates, k have still a great need, especially after the repeated destruction of their habitat natural addition to the publication of his book " Gorillas in the Mist "( Gorillas in the Mist), from which the Warner Bros. drew the Posthumous of the movie, starring the actress Sigourney Weaver , k was so impressed by his life , to become Honorary President of the Fund Dian Fossey Gorilla Mountain xi " !
Dian Fossey still rests today in Rwanda in place She was built by the same x bury his great friends and on his tomb, there are written these words: "No one loved gorillas + of you" and in fact, g hanks to you, the mountain gorillas are now a protected species!
