"Znáte Dian Fossey?"
"Jasně, viděla jsem film Gorily v mlze."
"Ten její dokument?"
"Ne film od Michaela Apteda."
"Pche... zromantizovaný blábol. Ten dokument si pusťte, nebo si pořiďte její knihy. A pak mi tu můžete něco povídat..."

Třicet let od jedné zvláštní zkoušky z ekologie, na které mluvil převážně profesor a já pak díky němu zasedla do knihovny a přečetla si vše, co bylo dostupné, od a o Dian Fossey.

@infinite8horizon @ailbhe I wish #DianFossey were still alive. She fucking deserved to be in this picture too.

I watched #GorillasInTheMist for the first time tonight. The screenwriters lost me within the first ten minutes, when #DianFossey refused to go anywhere until she was allowed to bring her hair dryer, nail polish, and make up into the rain forest. And the portrayal of the local Rwandans…Yikes. #cinema

@twt @rayckeith Totally agree!

I've had the great privilege of visiting the place mentioned in the original post, Volcanos National Park in Rwanda. Went on a hike up a mountain with guides to see the Highland Gorillas there. They're absolutely amazing. They live in an extended-family group with individuals of all sizes and ages.

Some were acting playfully and trying to get our attention, but others were clearly keeping a wary eye on us (even though we were keeping at a safe and respectful distance) in case they needed to step-in to protect the group from strangers.

I was on the tail-end of the group, and as we were leaving, I saw a Silverback who'd been quite defensive-looking had positioned itself between its group and our group. It stretched and relaxed, and caught my eye to let me know it was seeing-off our group. It was a very human gesture, and made it plain to see how closely related gorillas and humans are.

[#AboutOurCommitment] Tonight, Michael Apted's Gorillas in the Mist was broadcast on France TV. Beautiful, moving and tragic at the same time ... Congratulations to #DianFossey for her commitment to the gorillas ! A way to follow without doubt ... Let's hope that our commitment for the climate, for biodiversity, for the planet, will be enough.
