Agoraphobic idiot skydives for gorillas · 10 July 2015

G4G aims to provide both funding and equipment for rangers in DR Congo whose job it is to protect gorillas. With the right 'gear', they are better able to safely patrol to monitor the gorillas, remove snares, reduce destruction of their habitat and protect these highly endangered gentle giants.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On the 10th of July I will be skydiving and by doing so, confronting a lifetime fear of agoraphobia. Whilst obviously idiotic, the challenge seems worthwhile as wildlife numbers are currently terrifying with a decline of 52% of vertebrate species since 1975 (WWF Living Planet Report).

I have decided to support Gearing up for Gorillas as their protection has been threatened by large corporations and human greed. If you'd like to see a disturbing yet moving documentary outlining the issues please watch The Virunga Movie on Netflix:

Thanks for your support.
