Giving Back: Banana Phone <> Gearing Up for Gorillas
Giving back is important at Banana Phone, which is why we're routing 1% of all sales to Gearing Up for Gorillas.
G4G focuses 100% on the conservation of the rare mountain gorilla in Virunga National Park, located in eastern DR Congo, by providing funding and equipment to the rangers who protect them.
Join us in helping provide what the rangers need and make a real difference to the future of the mountain gorilla. G4G has proven that practical assistance can be directed to where it really matters - to the rangers at the sharp end.
