The Making (& Protecting) of Mountain Gorillas
Category: Art of Conservation (AoC) | Date: Oct 18 2009 | By: Julie
To love, protect, and feel compassion for a mountain gorilla is to really see a mountain gorilla - in all its shapes and forms. Our students have always been told that they should protect mountain gorillas - their immediate neighbors in Volcanoes National Park. Being told is one thing, but to understand and develop feelings of compassion is another. Art of Conservation’s approach toward inspiring young people to really care for each other, animals, and the entire natural world is through dialogue, exploration, and art.
Please view our video from two class sessions of creating papier mache mountain gorillas.
