World Gorilla Day is celebrated annually on September 24th to raise awareness about gorilla conservation and the protection of their habitats. In Uganda, a country renowned for its mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, this day is marked with various activities such as conservation campaigns, educational events, gorilla treks, and community outreach programs. These activities aim to promote awareness about the importance of gorilla conservation, support local communities, and encourage responsible tourism that benefits both the gorillas and the people. Uganda’s efforts on World Gorilla Day help highlight the country’s vital role in preserving these endangered primates and their ecosystems.
