Dian Fossey was an American zoologist who studied gorillas in Africa. Her research and life in the mountain forests of Rwanda made her famous. She wrote a book about her work, ‘Gorillas in the Mist’. A major Hollywood studio paid her a million dollars for the movie rights. Her brutal murder in 1985 had to be added to the film.
戴安·弗西是一名美国动物学家,她曾经前往非洲研究大猩猩
Fossey was born in 1932. She became interested in animals from a very early age and enrolled on a veterinary course. At university, she studied occupational therapy, which would help her later research. She became interested in Africa in her late twenties. She took out a loan and went to Tanzania, where she met the man who would change her life, anthropologist Dr. Louis Leakey.

Fossey was encouraged by Dr. Leakey to carry out long-term research on mountain gorillas. In 1967, she set up the Karisoke Research Centre in the remote Rwanda rainforest. She became an international celebrity in 1970 after appearing on the cover of ‘National Geographic’ magazine. It brought huge publicity for her campaign to protect the mountain gorillas and save them from extinction.
受到李奇博士的鼓励,弗西在大猩猩出没的深山中对猩猩进行了长期研究
Fossey was strongly opposed to zoos. In 1978, she tried to stop two young gorillas from being taken from Rwanda to a zoo in Germany. Twenty adult gorillas were killed during their capture. She also disagreed with “conservation tourism”, which disturbs the animals’ natural habitat. Many believe she was killed by those who wanted to make big money from gorilla tourism.
