Dian Fossey (1932-1985) - primatologist and naturalist

For 18 years, Fossey studied, lived among and befriended the gorillas of Rwanda. Fossey made many discoveries about the animals, including understanding their vocalizations, group hierarchies and social relationships, and diet and recycling of nutrition. Her 1983 book, “Gorillas in the Mist,” documented her intense study of the animals and the need to protect them from the constant threat of poachers and neglect.
