Dian was murdered by her own machette that she had taken from poachers. It is believed that she was killed by someone who didn't want her work to continue and/or didn't want what they were doing to become known to the world.

Before I learnt more about the amazing life of Dian Fossey, I loved gorillas but didn't realise how terrible their circumstances are. I have also realised that, like Dian, to make something happen I must be committed and willing to fight for that particular cause. I have always wanted to visit the gorillas and it really upsets me that due to deforestation and poaching, there are a scarce amount of gorillas left.

Digit was the gorilla the Dian grew closest to. She spent years with him and talked about him as her best friend. Digit was murdered by poachers in 1977. They had taken his head as a prize. Dian was distraught but fought back by establishing the Digit Fund to raise money to save her mountain gorillas. The fund was later renamed The Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International  but the memory of Digit still lives on.

Fossey's passion was Gorillas and she followed that passion until the day she died. Dian spent a life in the wild jungles and forests of Rwanda and Uganda living with the gorillas. Her aim was to raise awareness for the gorillas and stop them from being killed by poachers and protect their homes from corporations wanting to take it away.
