Mara had to do a biography project for school and she picked Dr. Dian Fossey. This was the lady who worked with the gorillas and helped preserve their life. The movie Gorillas in the Mist was a movie based on Dr. Fosseys life and experiences.
Mara did a fabulous job and really learned a lot about scientists, gorillas and how hard it can be to really follow thru with something that you love. In Maras research she learned that Dr. Fossey was killed by poachers in her forest cabin. Although it was very sad, the work of Dian Fossey carries on today and we now have many funds which give aid to the gorillas because of her work!
Great job Mara!
