"It wasn't until I read a book gorillas that I really fell in love with how smart they are and how they relate to us，" Addy said. "I learned they were being killed for reasons that I felt were necessary.And I needed to do something."
     Addy is now working to save her favorite animals.She has sold T-shirts and home- made cookies for the cause，and she hosts a yearly Gorilla Gala.
     Addy asked Meredith Bastian，a zookeeper，what challenges wild gorillas face that some people may not notice.Bastian said that it is a combinatión of habitat loss，climate change and spread of disease.But there is also the problem of mining.Coltan is a mineral that is used to make cellphones and is mined mostly in Congo Central Africa.These mines destroy gorillas' habitats and worsen their living conditions.

     Addy hopes to get close to a gorilla in the wild.Typically a person needs to be at least 15 years old to travel to where the gorillas live，so for now Addy is sticking to raising money for gorillas.
