The Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund protects vulnerable mountain and eastern lowland guerrillas. This tire sports massive self-cleaning tread, beefy construction, and a deep sidewall wrap design to create a tire that absolutely destroys soft terrain. Few competitors can match up to the sheer aggressiveness of the Silverback’s features. Adopters will receive special images of their sweet new friend and have the satisfaction of helping protect this vulnerable species. The Gorilla Silverback Mud Tire is an alpha-male in the UTV/ATV world. Animal lovers can also adopt a gorilla by choosing their favorite from a range of available babies and adults. At present, they are building a new Ellen DeGeneres campus in Rwanda to expand their work. Supporting the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund is one way to help fight for these incredible creatures. Loss of habitat and extreme vulnerability to poaching are just some of the threats the species faces. Grauer’s gorillas–also known as eastern lowland gorillas-are considered critically endangered with an unknown, small population. They are threatened by poachers, habitat loss, and traps set for other animals into which they stumble. The mountain gorilla population is endangered and thought to be just over 1,000 individuals. Unfortunately, gorillas are in incredible danger. Male gorillas can make sweet fathers-playing with juveniles and even letting them sleep in their nests if something happens to the mother. Meanwhile, their brother Musilikale leads his group of bonded females which he will defend with his life if necessary. They nap and play together even though they are all grown up. These two are particularly bonded, the researchers report. Icumbi and Turakomeje help their brother protect the group as it travels in search of food and nesting grounds. In Musilikale's family, the three brothers lead 22 female gorillas. The trackers and observers who follow the mountain gorilla families have captured many sweet images of the social creatures. The next generation to extremely aggressive Silverback with improvements in lug design and ride that are unmatched in the ATV tire market.

The Grauer’s gorillas must be followed at a distance however. The mountain gorillas are used to human presence, allowing researchers to better observe their social interactions.

These protective efforts are labor-intensive but effective. Both species are incredibly endangered, so the organization has trackers and researchers who follow the gorilla groups every day. They protect mountain gorillas in Rawanda and Grauer’s gorillas in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The organization is dedicated to conservation through research, training local conservationists, and forming ties with local communities. The Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund was established in 1967 by Dian Fossey.
