Thank you to Eric Ronay, collaborator & fellow gorilla champion. Eric displays courage and ingenuity to create change around the world not only in electronic recycling and sustainability, but in the protection and conservation of gorillas as well. I am honored to work alongside such a great man to save the gorillas and decrease electronic waste.
Thank you to Gerry Ellis, photographer, who graciously allowed use of his gorilla images. His extraordinary photographs capture the awesome beauty and wisdom of these fascinating creatures.
Thank you to Beth Armstrong, my mentor, friend, and one of the leaders in gorilla conservation. Not only did she provide me with images of gorillas, she supports, encourages, and empowers me to be a (loud) voice for the gorillas. Each gorilla has their story. It is up to us to share that story.
Thank you to Elizabeth Curcuru and her family at African Wildlife Safari Park in Port Clinton, Ohio! Elizabeth, after hearing about this project and Eco-Cell, contacted Eric. African Wildlife Safari Park is the newest addition to the Eco-cell family!
