It functions as a research and reference herbarium that supports the organization’s long-term conservation, ecological, and educational work focused on gorillas and the forests they depend on. The herbarium houses carefully curated plant specimens collected primarily from montane, sub-montane, and Afro-alpine ecosystems within key gorilla landscapes, including the Virunga Massif and surrounding protected areas. These collections provide authoritative records of plant species composition, distribution, and habitat associations in some of Africa’s most biologically important and sensitive ecosystems.Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International Herbariumdnkurikiyimana@gorillafund.org https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1722-0096https://gorillafund.org/NkurikiyimanaDonath dnkurikiyimana@gorillafund.org Collections Managerhttps://orcid.org/0000-0003-1722-0096contentProviderTo the extent possible under law, the publisher has waived all rights to these data and has dedicated them to the 2026-06-01T02:28:41-07:00East Africa Herbaria Portal - 5a192bd1-493a-4298-9a91-bef60fc08b91UTF-8Darwin Core Archivehttps://eastafricaherbaria.net/collections/misc/collprofiles.php?collid=3DFGFIKRCDian Fossey Gorilla Fund International Herbariumhttps://eastafricaherbaria.net/content/collicon/krcdfgfi.jpghttps://gorillafund.org/https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund InternationalNkurikiyimanaDonath dnkurikiyimana@gorillafund.org Collections Managerhttps://orcid.org/0000-0003-1722-0096The Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International Herbarium is a specialized scientific collection dedicated to documenting and understanding the plant diversity of gorilla habitats in Central and East Africa.
