Gorilla Project to be Highlighted in Cleveland Plain Dealer

Here's a heads-up: Cleveland Metroparks Zoo's newly launched Gorilla Health Project will be featured in Donna J. Miller's "Animals in the News" column in the Metro section of the Cleveland Plain Dealer on Sunday, October 21, 2007. You can also read the column online at cleveland.com.

The Zoo's Gorilla Health Project aims to explore and ultimately prevent chronic heart disease and other medical issues prevalent among gorillas in North American zoos. The launch of the project comes just after last month's reclassification of Western lowland gorillas from "endangered" to "critically endangered" by the World Conservation Union. This bleak outlook for gorillas underscores the importance of Cleveland Metroparks Zoo's strengthened commitment to improving the future for gorillas in zoos (read the news release).
