Western LowlandGorilla
Jersey Zoo’s gorilla troop traces back to Jambo, the silverback who made headlines in 1986 for standing guard over a child who fell into his enclosure. Adopting a gorilla funds their care here — and protects wild families in the forests of Cameroon.
A year-long adoption. Packs post within five working days.
Where your £39 goes
Every adoption is unrestricted support — it goes wherever the need is greatest, from daily care here to the field teams working hundreds of miles away.
- Browse, forage and enrichment The troop is fed a varied forest diet and given puzzles that keep them foraging the way they would in the wild.
- Protecting wild families Durrell trains local rangers and supports community forest projects across the Cameroon range.
- Veterinary and keeper expertise Specialist care for a long-lived species — some of the troop will be here for forty years or more.
