Three years we observed gorillas in Prague Zoo. We wanted to present their stories so that people identify with them and understand how important is to help conservation of gorillas in wild. Like this we get to Africa. Within the project The Revealed we try to bring informations about african wildlife and its conservation but also raise funds for that purposes (as I wrote below, we published the Gorilla stories book, we supported educational project in villages north of Dja and now we would like to equip the ecoquards in Djoum).
During our trip to Africa we made a lot of interviews with people who work in field and here is one of them… An interview with primatologist Daniela Hedwig.

The Revealed, 11 May 2009
When we offered you the photogallery of forest elephants two weeks ago, we did not expect how they attract you. After our arrival from Africa, we launch forth the elephants once again – this time in global panoramatic view in the clearing.
By the way, do you know how many of elephants are there? :-) Try to count them! First three of you, who count them correctly and send us the answer on email odhaleni@rozhlas.cz until 18 May, get a little present.
You can look around the clearing by holding left mouse button and moving left and right. For zooming use cursor keys up and down.

Thanks to our merchandise sale we have supported a primate sanctuary Limbe Wildlife Centre in Cameroon. During our last expedition into Cameroon and Central African Republic we get to know Adjibolo - the second youngest gorilla in the LWC.
We have presented her story in Live Webcasts from LWC and a few days ago on our websites together with the rest of the troop that occupies the small enclosure. Now you have a chance to see here closely. We have produced a short video for you from materials that we have brought back from Africa. It clearly shows that Adjibolo is lively and playful despite her tragic fate.

The Revealed
Partners of Year of the Gorilla.
The Revealed was a project of Czech Radio. It was a parody on Big Brother, where contestants were not humans but Western Lowland Gorillas from Prague Zoo. The aim of the project was to inform public about gorilla's way of living and a need of their protection. The show is over, but activities of The Revealed team continue - we develop conservational activities in central Africa.
All funds raised on this blog will benefit gorilla conservation projects. Look into the donation box. You can support our efforts also by buying some of the product from our e-shop.
We have already supported primates sanctuary Limbe Wildlife Centre, educational project on the north of Dja Reserve in Cameroon. We published Book of Gorilla Fairy-tales which was distributed free of charge into cameroonian schools and which should help to increase awareness of conservation.
We prepared also an audio recording of these fairy tales. The CD "Histoires de Gorilles" will be broadcast in cameroonian Radios.
