\u201cWe are thrilled to see the story of the Pablo family shared with a global audience,\u201d said Dr. Tara Stoinski, President, CEO and Chief Scientific Officer of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur teams have studied this group for decades, and that long-term research was essential to telling the full story of this family, dating back to Dian Fossey\u2019s time, and to interpret what viewers see on screen \u2014 from subtle social interactions to major life events. It\u2019s a powerful example of how sustained scientific research can bring extraordinary animal stories to life.\u201d<\/p>\n
As advisors, the Fossey Fund provided field expertise, behavioral interpretation and unique insights from its decades of research on the Pablo family to help shape the film\u2019s narrative.<\/p>\n
Working closely with the production team, Fossey Fund scientists provided key logistical support and helped ensure that important moments captured on camera were accurately understood by translating complex behaviors into a compelling and authentic story about the lives of gorillas.<\/p>\n
\u201cA Gorilla Story\u201d is a tribute to the complex and awe-inspiring lives of mountain gorillas, and it would not have been possible without the conservation and research efforts of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund,\u201d said Alastair Fothergill, co-director of Silverback Films and Executive Producer of the film. \u201cThe organization\u2019s decades of scientific knowledge allowed us to tell the full story of these gorillas in ways that would otherwise have been impossible.\u201d<\/p>\n
Today, mountain gorillas represent one of conservation\u2019s rare success stories. Once pushed toward extinction, they are now the only great ape species whose population is increasing \u2014 a recovery made possible in part through the Fossey Fund\u2019s decades of sustained conservation, research and collaboration with local communities.<\/p>\n
\u201cA Gorilla Story: Told by David Attenborough\u201d premieres globally on Netflix on April 17. To learn more about the gorillas featured in the documentary, follow @savinggorillas on social media or visit gorillafund.org.<\/p>\n
