Off the Page: John Fowler and "A Forest in the Clouds"

In “A Forest in the Clouds”, John Fowler takes us into the world of the Karisoke Research Center, the remote mountain gorilla camp of Dr. Dian Fossey, a few years prior to her gruesome murder. Drawn to the adventure and promise of learning the science of studying mountain gorillas amid the beauty of Central Africa’s cloud forest, Fowler soon learns the cold harsh realities of life inside Fossey’s enclave ten thousand feet up in the Virunga Volcanoes.
Fowler's book is a journey into an extraordinary world that now only exists in the memories of the very few who knew it.
