Mountain Gorilla Photos from the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International Now Available for Custom-Made Photo Keepsakes

ATLANTA (GA) – For the first time, unique photos of mountain gorillas taken by staff of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International will be available to the public for use in making customized photo keepsakes. By teaming up with Think Big Photos, the Fossey Fund’s photos can now be made into greeting cards, calendars, posters, stickers and other photo products.
 
Twenty percent of each purchase through Think Big Photos goes directly to the Fossey Fund to support conservation of the critically endangered gorillas, which are monitored and protected every day by staff of the Fossey Fund in Rwanda’s Virunga Mountains, at the Karisoke Research Center (founded by Dian Fossey).
 
The new photo products are created by each user at GorillaFundPhotos.com. Visitors can choose from a gallery of gorilla photos from the Fossey Fund, and can add photos of their own as well as personal greetings, in a simple-to-use process that offers many creative options. Templates for holiday cards, birthday cards and other occasions are all available.
 
“Gorillas are beautiful animals and Think Big Photos provides a way for the public to enjoy these photographic images as much as we do,” says Clare Richardson, president and CEO of the Fossey Fund.
 
“I am proud to play a part in spreading the message of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund,” said Shawn Allison, president of Think Big Photos. “The Fossey Fund makes an extraordinary difference in gorilla conservation and GorillaFundPhotos.com will help raise funds for this important organization. Unique to GorillaFundPhotos.com are exclusive photos of the gorillas in the wild. Supporters can see the gorillas that directly benefit from the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund, and they can create any number of fun projects using these exclusive images or their own personal photos.”
