With their powerful build, expressive eyes, and complex social bonds, these gentle giants share 98.3% of our DNA and remind us of our deep connection to the natural world—living in the misty mountain forests of Central Africa at altitudes up to 4,300 meters.

This premium magnet features stunning wildlife photography that captures the impressive power and deep expressiveness of this extraordinary animal.

A Conservation Success Story:

Mountain gorillas represent one of the most inspiring wildlife conservation success stories. In the 1980s, fewer than 250 individuals survived. Through dedicated protection efforts, anti-poaching patrols, veterinary care, and community-based conservation, their population has more than quadrupled. They remain endangered, but their recovery proves that with dedication and resources, we can bring species back from the brink of extinction.

We partner with organizations that make a real, measurable contribution to wildlife protection. Together, we are building a community of wildlife ambassadors—one magnet at a time.

With the purchase of this magnet, we donate €2.00 to wildlife conservation – so you directly contribute to the preservation of the mountain gorilla and its misty mountain forest habitat.

Turn your fridge into a tribute to our closest relative—and proof that targeted protection makes the difference between extinction and survival.
