Located in the Volcanoes National Park, the Ellen Campus of the Dian Fossey Fund opened this month. The Ellen Fund was aimed at securing a future for renowned mountain gorillas by building The Dian Fossey Fund a permanent home.
The campus will include a Conservation Gallery that builds upon Dian Fossey’s legacy and serves as a key attraction for tourists from around the globe; an Education Outreach Center to increase opportunities for capacity building for students, staff, and the community; a Research Center that will enhance their cutting-edge research on gorillas and their habitats; and Housing to enable students, staff, and researchers to live on-site and build professional and personal relationships.

Throughout the campus, there will be interpretive paths for visitors to explore and expand their education of gorilla habitats and reforestation efforts.
