"It's your sixtieth birthday," said de Rossi, "and this gift had to be really special, and it had to represent who you are and what you really care about." 。
Inspired by Ellen's personal hero Dian Fossey, de Rossi gave her a truly unique and wonderful gift. She set up a fund and campus in Ellen DeGeneres' name at the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund. 。

De Rossi described the campus as "a most incredible centre for tourism, education, and for further scientific research." 。
"It's good to be loved it's profound to be understood," said DeGeneres of the gift, "and she understands me because that is the best gift that anybody could have given me." 。
Since Dian Fossey started her work in 1967, the mountain population of Rwanda has doubled -- although the total population is still threatened, with only 880 mountain gorillas alive in the world today. They are listed as "critically endangered" on the IUCN red list. 。
