Dr Dian Fossey，one of the world's leading women scientists，had an outstanding career. The work—she devoted her life to protecting and studying the mountain gorillas (大猩猩) of Africa—has proved highly effective and has resulted in the steady (平稳的) increase of this most endangered big monkeys.

Fossey made her first trip to Africa in e years later，she returned to Africa to begin a long－term study of the mountain gorillas. She set up a camp in the Democratic Republic of Congo but moved to Rwanda because of political reasons in founded her “Karisoke” Research Centre camp on September 24，1967.

Fossey's aims were to study gorilla ecology (生态学) and social organization. She found that in order to achieve this，she needed to recognize individual gorillas，which required that the gorillas get used to her presence．By copying gorillas' behaviour and sounds，Fossey began to gain their trust，and in 1970, an adult male gorilla she had named “Peanuts” reached out to touch her hand.

Close observations over thousands of hours enabled Fossey to gain the gorillas' trust and bring forth new knowledge about their behaviour. Stories and photographs of her work were published in National Geographic Magazine and elsewhere.

In 1977，one of Fossey's favourite gorillas，Digit，was killed by poachers and she set up the Digit Fund to help raise money for gorilla protection efforts in the same year.

On December 26，1985，Fossey was murdered while going back to her house in Karisoke. Her body was discovered near the research centre. Most probably，Dian Fossey had been killed by the poachers she'd fought against. On her tombstone (墓碑)：“No one loved gorillas more...”
