Gorilla Tactics

How to Save a Species

About this book

A wildlife Robin Hood's thrilling account of saving gorillas, one celebrity at a time.

Greg Cummings shares his experiences as executive director of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund, detailing a seventeen-year journey from West End bartender to conservation leader. From boardrooms to mountain treks, Cummings recounts raising money from the rich and famous, enlisting figures like Sigourney Weaver and Leonardo DiCaprio to protect endangered gorillas and their habitats.

Gorilla Tactics reveals the challenges of African conservation, the power of celebrity advocacy, and one man's unwavering commitment to saving a species. For readers of conservation memoirs, tales of African adventure, and stories of celebrity activism, this is a story of hope, humor, and the hard work it takes to make a difference. This is a story of wildlife conservation, celebrity involvement, and the African continent.
