It s the greed for money that killed Dian. I think it is really disgusting how ORTPN, its director Laurent Habirameye, Protais Zigiranyirazo (the préfet and animal trader of Ruehengeri) and some of Dians fromer students let her former tracker Rwelekana kill her; just to exploit the gorillas for tourism.

Would a poacher brake unarmed into her cabin when everybody knew that Fossey made no calms about using her guns?

Before her death Dr David Watts lobbied hard to formulate means to take Karisoke away from Dian. ORTPN said if they wanted Dian to leave they would have simply asked her to do so. That 's a joke. ORTPN asked her to leave and Dian who was the founder and through her background as occupational therapist made close research of habituated groups possible threatened to burn down Karisoke if she 'd had to go. As Dian wrote it was a threat and "the only way to save a lifetime of work".

I also think it is disgusting how David Watts then could take over as Karisoke director after Dians death. Some researchers are really losing their minds due to their ambitions.

10000 tourist visiting the gorillas that s way too much. In Mowat s book it is discribed how Dr Amy Vedder defecated among the gorillas and let them eat her feces and how Dian was horrified when she found that out. Afterwards gorillas like Nunkie died of human intestinal parasites. And imagine 10000 people defecating in the park....When I was there there was litter and garbage all over the place- even tampons. In 2005 9 gorillas died thorugh measles transmitted through tourists.

I've moved the following text off the "external links" section of the main article:

“

Before Dian' s death Dr David Watts lobbied hard to formulate means to take Karisoke away from Dian. ORTPN said if they wanted Dian to leave they would have simply asked her to do so. When ORTPN asked her to leave Dian who was the founder and through her background as occupational therapist made close research of habituated groups possible threatened to burn down Karisoke if she 'd had to go. As Din wrote it was a threat and "the only way to save a lifetime of work". [1]

In Mowat s book it is discribed how Dr Amy Vedder one of David' s best friends and fierce enemy of Dian defecated among the gorillas and let them eat her feces and how Dian was horrified when she found that out. Afterwards gorillas like Nunkie died of human intestinal parasites. [1].A lot of the 10 000 tourists who visit per year are defecating in the park and there s litter and garbage all over the place- even tampons. In 2005 9 gorillas died thorugh measles transmitted through tourists.

It needs a quite a lot of cleaning up regarding grammar, POV and references.
