Brief Introduction of Dian !


Dian Fossey (January 16, 1932, San Francisco, CaliforniaDecember 26, 1985, Virunga Mountains, Rwanda) was an American zoologist who completed an extended study of gorilla groups over a period of 18 years. She observed them daily for years in the mountain forests of Rwanda, initially encouraged to work there by famous paleontologist Louis Leakey.
Her work is somewhat similar to
Jane Goodall's work with chimpanzees.
