The population of the mountain gorillas has been on a rapid decline and there are currently only about 1,000 mountain gorillas left in the world.
Wild gorillas are under the threat from poachers, deforestation, lack of care, and diseases.
MOUNTAIN GORILLA NUMBERS ARE NOW DESPERATELY LOW AND WE NEED TO ENSURE WE PRESERVE THESE BEAUTIFUL ANIMALS AND PREVENT EXTINCTION
The commercial trade in bushmeat, which occurs throughout west and central Africa, is today the biggest threat to gorillas.
Gorillas’ low reproductive rates means that even low levels of hunting can cause a population decline, which could take many generations to be reversed. Gorillas are also frequently maimed or killed by traps and snares intended for other forest animals such as antelopes.
Apes are being killed to primarily to supply high-end demand for meat in urban centers, where the consumption of ape meat is considered to be prestigious amongst the wealthy elite.
Although gorillas may constitute only a small proportion of all animals killed for the bushmeat trade, they present easy targets for hunters, and in many areas gorillas are favoured by hunters because of the weight of saleable meat.
