Fossey, Dian 1932-1985
weeks after leang hospital minus her appendix, Dian Fossey recelved a ietter from the famous anthropologist, the late Louis S. B. Leakey. Actua11y,' he u'rote, 'there was really no dire'need to have your appendix removed. That's only my way of testlng applicants' determination,' Louis Leakey had only somewhat facetiously suggested she have her appendix removed, but of course, he was so connced of he determination that he offered her the job and invited her to begin field wok in 1966. She iived aione on the damp misty siopes among the mountain gorillas in the Democratic Republic of the Congo until civil war forced her to escape to Rwanda. She established the Kaisoke Reseach Centre (1967), alternating her time betr,veen her field work there and obtaining a PhD based on her research (Cambridge University Press, 1974), and writing her best-selling book, Gorillas in the Mst (published l9B3). She was considered the world's leading authority on the physiology and behaviour of mountain gorillas, and portrayed these anmals as dignified, highly social, "gentle giants" with indivldual personaiities and strong family relationships. Her active conservationist stand against game wardens, zoo poachers, and government officials who wanted to convert gorilla habitats to farmland caused her to fight for the gorillas not only via the media, but also by destroying poachers' dogs and traps, She was found hacked to death, presumably by poachers, in her Rwandan forest camp in December 1985.
