Dian Fossey wanted the illegal hunting of mountain gorillas to stop because she recognized the grave threat it posed to their survival. She believed that protecting gorillas from poaching was crucial for their conservation, and dedicated her life to advocating for their protection. Through her research and activism, Fossey aimed to raise awareness about the importance of preserving these endangered animals.

Gorillas.

Dian Fossey died on December 26, 1985 at the age of 53.

Yes, she did. She studied Gorillas in Rwanda for eighteen years. She lived with them, and gained their trust by imitating their behavior. Before Dian Fossey, many people thought that gorillas were mad beastly savage monsters. She disproved that theory,and had the first peaceful human contact with gorillas ever recorded. The gorillas treated her like part of their family group. Dian Fossey was also very active in fighting against poachers, especially after her favorite gorilla, Digit, was killed by them. She founded the Digit fund, which was later changed to the Dian Fossey Fund (after she died), as an organization (in memory of Digit) to raise money for the fight against poachers. She singlehandedly brought attention to the plight of Africa's gorillas. She was murdered in her cabin, supposedly by poachers trying to get her gorillas. Dian Fossey is often mistaken for Jane Goodall. Jane Goodall worked with chimps, and is a completely different person.

It is not known what hospital Dian Fossey was born in. Dian Fossey was born in San Francisco on January 16, 1932.

I'm not sure what you mean by "other jobs"---I'm assuming you mean other than following chimps around? She actually does that very little nowadays, though she keeps in good contact with the people who DO follow the chimps around in Gombe (where she worked) now. And she visits her chimps, of course. But mostly now she travels around raising money for ape protection and raising awareness---she travels more than 300 days a year speaking to audiences across the globe and meeting with governmental and NGO people and primatologists. She is director of the Jane Goodall Institue as well, which supports wildlife research, education and conservation. You can look it up online and donate if you have the means to.

No, her murder was never solved. They have always assumed that it was a poacher, but a concrete suspect was never named.

She used her voice, hands, feelings, and cameras.

she researched gorillas in Zaire and rwanda, and became the first person in recorded history to have skin ti skin contact with a moutnain gorilla. she was murdered in 1985, possibly by poachers.

She made more people respect the habitat of the animals. also helped us realize that we need to not judge animals for what they look like or what myths have said about them.

Dian Fossey never married because she had died before her wedding and she did have a child but had an abortion and lost her child.
No - although she was engaged to Franz Forrester, she was not married.

Dian Fossey's hobbies were studying and playing with gorillas.

Because when she worked on the farm she got attached to animals. Then when she went to Africa (even with a broken ankle) she climbed up one of the highest mountains just to see the animals there. That just goes to show we can do anything.

Dian Fossey's most famous work with mountain gorillas was conducted in the Virunga Mountains in Rwanda. Her research camp was called the Karisoke Research Center, because it was located on the saddle between Mt. Karisimbi and Mt. Visoke. Fossey's first work with mountain gorillas was in Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of Congo), but her work there was cut short by political upheaval. She moved her base of research to Rwanda after less than a year in Zaire. For more details, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dian_Fossey

not that i know of but she made up karisoke which is where she worked and lived

no she was the only child of George and Kitty Fossey

She had no middle name.

Fossey left Africa in 1970 to complete work for a doctorate at the University of Cambridge in England. In 1974 she received her degree in zoology with the completion of her dissertation, “The Behavior of the Mountain Gorilla.” She returned to Rwanda with student volunteers who made broader kinds of research possible.

Dian Fossey died on December 26, 1985 at the age of 53.

Dian Fossey did not win any awards in her childhood. The only award she said was, "Saving the mountain gorilla's is my only goal and award."

The world is a better place because of dian fossey because she informed people that gorillas are not so harmful. She also wanted to tell people that the world can be a better place because of gorillas. Another thing is she made a movie and a book about gorillas. The book and the movie have the same title. They are both called ""Gorillas in the Mist".
