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.
