2009 is the Year of the Gorilla.

Hi! Welcome to this humble blog. You may want to subscribe to TN's RSS feed for updates. Thanks! :D

No, we’re not talking here of the Chinese Zodiac and its 12 animal signs. THAT year will start around a month from this date. The Year of the Gorilla started on December 1, 2oo8.

That’s when the United Nations declared 2009 as the year of the endangered giant primate to highlight their plight due to disease, hunting, and deforestation. A decision probably helped by the discovery of a population of the Critically Endangered Western lowland gorilla.

The official website is found here.
