Unforgotten: The Wild Life of Dian Fossey and Her Relentless Quest to Save Mountain Gorillas

Discover the inspiring and remarkable life of Dian Fossey with Unforgotten: The Wild Life of Dian Fossey and Her Relentless Quest to Save Mountain Gorillas. This powerful biography from award-winning author Anita Silvey takes you on an incredible journey into the heart of Africa and the incredible work of this groundbreaking primatologist and conservationist.

From her humble beginnings in America to her unwavering determination to protect the few mountain gorillas left on Earth, Fossey's story is one of passion, science, and preservation. With no formal training, she relied on her intelligence, passion, and the support of paleoanthropologist Louis Leakey to fulfill her dream of studying animals in the wild.

Imagine immersing yourself in the African wilderness, setting up a research camp, and dedicating your life to tracking and observing mountain gorillas. Over 18 years, Fossey's dedication paid off as she formed an unbreakable bond with these majestic creatures, becoming the first human to get close to them.

But Fossey's mission went beyond studying gorillas. She became a fierce protector against poachers and other threats, risking her own safety and wellbeing to ensure the survival of these incredible animals. Her efforts led to the establishment of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund, which has contributed to the significant increase in the mountain gorilla population. Today, there are nearly twice as many gorillas living in Volcanoes National Park than when Fossey began her mission.

Unfortunately, Fossey's life was cut short when she was tragically murdered at her camp in 1985. The circumstances surrounding her death remain a mystery, but her legacy lives on. Jane Goodall once said, "If Dian had not been there, there might be no mountain gorillas in Rwanda today." By reading Unforgotten, you not only learn about Fossey's life but also become part of her enduring legacy.

Unforgotten is the dramatic conclusion to Silvey's trilogy on Leakey's "Trimates." With its captivating storytelling, accompanied by sidebars, maps, and an award-winning design, this biography will captivate the hearts and minds of the next generation of budding scientists and conservationists.
