Dian Fossey: Ihr Leben für die Gorillas

She pioneered field research on gorillas in their natural habitat atop Rwanda's high mountains, establishing residence there in 1967. For almost two decades, Dian Fossey lived among the gorillas, chronicling their behavior and reshaping public perception of the species. Her steadfast campaign against poaching helped prevent their extinction. In December 1985, the primatologist was murdered, and the circumstances remain unresolved. Former colleagues, scientists, and biographers illuminate her profound impact, while also acknowledging the harsher aspects of her personality and her unwavering dedication.
