Karen Ross: She is a smart young woman that works for ERTS (Earth Resources Technology Services). She was the supervisor for the ERTS Congo Project, she knew about the latest technology and how to work it.

Peter Elliot: A young male doctor that is in love with gorillas. He taught Amy sign language so she could possibly teach other gorillas. He wanted the best for the gorilla instead of the best for himself (he could of sold the gorilla for a lot of money), so he tried to take her to her home (in the Congo).
