Story

Dear visitor, welcome to the fundraising page of the DNApes: the DNA Analysts of poop, excrement and scat - Willkommen zu der Spendenaktion der DNApes!

PLEASE SPONSOR US! We are running 7km in Gorilla Suits in the Dian Fossey Great Gorilla Run September 24th, 2006 (www.gorillas.org/london2006).

We are a motivated team of young scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany (http://www.eva.mpg.de). Most of us are studying the social relationships in great ape groups using molecular techniques, including analyses of fecal samples collected in the wild, hence our name.

Visit our site at: http://email.eva.mpg.de/~arandjel/ We believe that conservation of biodiversity and especially the protection of endangered species is a key task for our generation. Mountain gorillas are still in great danger of extinction as the result of actions by humans. We ask you to support the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund and the strategy they have adopted to protect these extraordinary creatures by donating through this site. If you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you. Thank you for your support. the DNApes


BITTE UNTERSÜTZEN SIE UNS! Wir werden am 24. September 2006 am Dian Fossey Great Gorilla Run teilnehmen und 7km in Gorilla-Kostümen quer durch London laufen (http://www.dianfossey.org/greatgorillarun/).

Wir sind ein Team junger engagierter Wissenschaftler des Max-Planck-Institutes für Evolutionäre Anthropologie in Leipzig (http://www.eva.mpg.de). Einer der Schwerpunkte unserer Forschung ist die Untersuchung der sozialen Beziehungen von Menschenaffen mithilfe genetischer Methoden. Unser Teamname - "DNApes - the DNA Analysists of poop, excrement and scat" - leitet sich davon ab, dass wir für unsere Analysen in Afrika gesammelte Kotproben verschiedener Menschenaffen verwenden. http://email.eva.mpg.de/~arandjel/ Wir sind davon überzeugt, dass die Erhaltung der Artenvielfalt auf unserer Erde und insbesondere der Schutz bedrohter Tiere eine der wichtigsten Aufgaben unserer Generation ist. Berggorillas zaehlen aufgrund menschlichen Eingreifens immernoch zu den am staerksten vom Aussterben bedrohten Arten. Daher unsere Bitte an Sie: Unterstützen Sie den Dian-Fossey-Gorilla-Fund, damit noch mehr getan werden kann, um diese außergewöhnlichen, faszinierenden Lebewesen zu schützen. Vielen Dank für Ihre Hilfe! Die DNApes
