1.3 Predicting Impact

A. Hear from GRACE

The team at GRACE is working to protect gorillas. They believe that we can all make a positive impact. Watch this video they made about protecting gorillas. 

 

Directions: Think about this question and write your answer in your Mission Log. 

  • How does this video help you understand some of the threats gorillas face? 

B. Think About It

Wild gorillas only live in Africa.  Many people in Africa love and care for gorillas; however, the actions we take impact not only the gorillas but also the communities that support them. When we buy cell phones or other electronics, it impacts gorillas. 

 

But why should we care? If you live outside Africa, your life probably wouldn’t change much if all the gorillas died. So if it doesn’t really impact us, should we care? 

 

Directions: Take a minute now and answer these questions in your Mission Log.

  • Should we work to help protect gorillas? Why?
