Congratulations to our partners at The Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund and as they celebrate the opening of The Ellen DeGeneres Campus of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund!
MASS partnered with the Fossey Fund to design and build a purpose-built campus that amplifies their conservation work. "From the outset, the mission of this project was focused on creating a space to engage the many stakeholders in conservation...to advance our collective goal of saving gorillas and more broadly, the planet. It is our hope that people who visit the Ellen DeGeneres Campus will leave inspired to make a difference, just as Dian Fossey did" - Dr. Tara Stoinski, President and CEO/Chief Scientific Officer, DFGF.
The new campus embodies the Fossey Fund's mission to conserve and limit its impact on the environment through the use of locally sourced materials, rainwater harvesting, green roofs, the reforestation of former agricultural land, and a constructed wetland to treat wastewater and promote biodiversity.
